The DCT Fancy Nancy Costume Contest!

FANCY NANCY: THE MUSICAL reminds us that we don't always get to be the star, but that everyone still gets a chance to shine when they do their best. The costume contest celebrates young artists of all skill levels who put their creative ideas on paper.



Hats off

Choosing two grand prize winners from so many creative entries is no easy task, but DCT Cos-tume Designer Lyle Huchton and Production Director Nancy Schaeffer looked carefully through each anonymous entry, submitted by artists in grades K-12 to make their selections. According to Huchton, "I always get really excited to see what creative ideas come from the design contest. I at times tend to over think when I am designing a costume so when I see some of the creative ways they approach the challenge I wonder why did I not think of that?"
