Hi, friends! Here's how a video I posted on YouTube led to me making props for stage productions of Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's my favorite musical. You could say I'm a bit obsessed.
I created my original YouTube channel in 2014. A lot of my early videos were crafting tutorials, where I'd recreate famous props from the 1996 animated film. In 2015, I shared a video showing how to make Esmeralda's necklace.
My channel wasn't large, but this was the only video on the subject at the time. A couple years later, the daughter of a producer saw my video and showed her mother. The producer was coordinating a stage production of Disney's Hunchback and reached out to commission several props for her show.
This grew into something wonderful! As word spread, various companies commissioned props for their productions of Disney's Hunchback and as gifts for the actors. It was a huge privilege getting to be a part of my favorite musical.
