Playhouse on the Square Hosts A Hat Making Workshop 4/9

Learn a new skill and help Playhouse on the Square prepare for the highly anticipated re-staging of Ragtime. Playhouse on the Square will host a hat-making workshop on Saturday, April 9th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the theatre's costume shop. The free workshop will begin with a brief history of hat-making, general information, and techniques from 10 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. Participants will get to work hands-on from 11:30 - 1, take a break for lunch, and return for more hands-on activities from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.

The workshop will be led by Karen Ralston, the Volunteer Milliner for Playhouse on the Square's costume shop. Karen has designed, constructed, or assisted in the construction of every hat that has been on any of The Playhouse stages for more than a decade. She will share her knowledge and techniques at a "Tom Sawyer"-style hat-making workshop. Instead of painting a fence, she will demonstrate with the hats from the musical Ragtime, and the hands-on workshop will involve trimming or making hats for the production. For reservations, call 901-937-6478.
