| Sprinkler makes costumes soggy
The floor was still flooded Wednesday when parents began showing up at Studio East in Kirkland. A fire sprinkler burst just before 1 p.m. in the theater school's costume room, spewing gallons of gunky water (what had been sitting in the pipes for years) and then clean water over everything. By 2 p.m. costumes for the current production, "I Never Saw Another Butterfly" were headed for home washing machines. It's a tight turnaround; the next performance is at 9 a.m. today. It wasn't just today's costumes and elegant hanging pieces that were drenched. Executive director Lani Brockman said water even seeped into the plastic storage bins. For this show, costumes can be a bit bedraggled. "I Never Saw Another Butterfly" is about children living in a concentration camp during the Holocaust.
