The costume department at North Shore Music Theater has gone from making lavish costumes to making face masks during the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak. The masks will be produced using purple fabrics whenever possible to honor NSMT's General Manager, Karen Nascembeni, who remains in critical condition in ICU battling COVID-19.
"As theatre people, we are used to producing shows for the public, but now we are shifting our focus for a bit," said Bill Hanney NSMT Owner & Producer. "It is our pleasure to be able to use this downtime to produce protective masks for some of our most at-risk neighbors." While the masks are not meant for use in medical environments, the masks will provide a layer of protection for people who may need to go out to get essential supplies, according to Kelly Baker, North Shore Music Theatre's Costume Shop Manager.Videos
