The Jewell Theatre

Last weekend I had the privilege of spending a rehearsal with the best acting company in SL, the Jewell Theatre. Two weeks ago I went to a play on the Isle of Farnacium with my Father. The play was called "The Ost", the script was very witty and funny, catering to a more FW audience but can be enjoyed by all. What I enjoyed most of all was the grand sets and the beautiful costumes. I have always enjoyed theatre in SL, but the Jewell Theatre has combined my 3 favorite things SL, Gorean fashion and theatre. They have a wide range of actors and I had the pleasure of interviewing two of the actresses. Lady Keyla Destiny and s'anne (Sanne Theas) are the two actresses that gave me a view into the world of the entertainment caste.

What may be the most unique part of this group is that they fit the rolls to the person not the class. Though Lady Keyla is a FW she plays a slave in the new play "Free", she says that at first she "was feeling rather uncomfortable thinking about losing her dresses and having to kneel" but her passion for acting is what won in the end. s'anne who is a slave in everyday SL, plays an Ubar's daughter in the "Free". she says that it's "interesting especially when you have a Master on His knees in front of you... but it makes becoming the role more defined." The sim that the Jewel Theatre is located on is Pilgrim Bay a very FW friendly area. You have no need of escort because they usually have security on call at all shows

I promise you when you go to their plays you will notice the costumes. The clothes are approved by the lovely and talented Director/Writer Fake Jewell and at times picked out by liat and dara.
I decided to have a bit of fun with this posting and show you my take on two of the Jewell theater costumes.Hair- Gogo in espresso by Truth
Cloak-Lucille cape in Black by Lions & butterflies (best cloaks ever!)
Veil- Scarlet Gown veil by Merchant Tarl
Dress- Immortal dress by Emo City



Hair-*Doll* in Black by Mirai Shan
Dress- Saiyge by Evie's closet
Modesty top- modesty top in black by Madison Winthorpe
Necklace-Ivy necklace by AlchemyImmortalis Cyannis

The next dress is one of my favorite costumes, modeled by s'anne. This dress is from Evie's Closet, and it has a lot of detail. As you all know by now I am a "prim detail freak" I must have prim detailing and I'm not talking about just slapping on a sculptie . I like it when designers mix sculpties with flexi and regular prims. Sculpties may be faster, but they don't get the wow factor points. I enjoy looking at a 70 prim arm piece and figuring out which is sculpties and which isn't, and its even better if I can't. Good job Jewell Theatre costume team.
Last but not least we will be taking a look at the lovely sets. Every gorgeous outfit needs a lovely setting to complement it. Dorian Cao creates these amazing, jaw dropping sets, that gets praise from the audience after every curtain raising. I didn't want to ruin the surprise you get when seeing these sets in person, but I had to show you a peak at one of the sets. This is my favorite it's a full scale Panther camp, that Dorian has some how fit onto the stage of the Jewell Theater. I look forward to every scene to see what will pop up next. A full scale slave auction, an Ubar's daughter's room, a tavern , a physician's office and even an Ubar's office. What next Dorian? A city block? I have no idea what's next, but I'm sure going to be there to see it.
