What is family: Family there are many in life, there is the one you are born into, then there are the ones you create on your own, and through them you build a community, build trust and build love. I am very lucky to have made my own family, and to be a part of this community.

Costume Designer
Brenna MacherEXPERIENCE:
I've made costumes and DisneyBounds for my friends and I in the past, which isn't quite the same as being a costumer for a production, but it's a good starting point. This was my first time designing and obtaining costums for a production.
WHAT DOES FAMILY MEAN TO YOU?
Family is supposed to mean everything-- someone who supports your successes and comforts your downfalls. While family can be dysfunctional, true family will love you unconditionally, despite your shortcomings and flaws. No two families are exactly the same, and while the definition of family is "a group of people who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption, and who love and support each other" that doesn't mean you can't choose your family-- or have multiple "families"-- Thank you to all of my families

WHAT DOES FAMILY MEAN TO YOU?: family isn't just your blood, but your chosen family too. Family is there through your rough patches and your wins at life, family is giving up your lunch so grandma can eat, just like with the olive garden motto, “when your there, your family”
