We met this friendly smiling face during rehearsals of Lend Me a Tenor, the first show of 2026 season. He came and immediately won us over because he was so interested to learn, help, and be involved. He said: how can I help?, and you all know, these words are beautiful music for people who work on a show.
Now Andrew (affectionally known as Argyle!) is working with the Legally Blonde costume team and he loves it! He is very busy, but had a few minutes to answer some questions for us:
Why did you choose to work with costumes?
I already knew that I wanted to support the theater, since I’ve been watching the shows here for years. When I saw there was a call for volunteers, I wanted to try something completely new. I love learning new things!
What’s your first impression of CPT?
No other theater feels quite as authentic to me as CPT. That’s what always pulled me back, show after show. And that’s what made me want to sign up to help out!
Your first show was Lend Me a Tenor. What was most difficult for you?
Difficult? Well, everyone is just way too nice and charming here, how am I supposed to get any work done?! Really, everyone has been so patient with me learning a new skill, and that acceptance and kindness in our community has made the whole experience just feel easy.
Please tell us about your team work for Legally Blonde.
I’m being trained by the incredible Beth Eslick, and working on a team of absolutely incredible designers, directors, creators, and masterminds. I’m constantly astounded by the attention to detail, let alone the passion that’s gone into this play. Getting to know the entire cast and crew has been an honor and delight.
