Stage Presence Marks Masquerade

The hallmark of this year’s masquerade was flair and stage presence. While the quality of the costumes on display was fantastic as always, it was clear that the costumers with the best stage presence had a distinct advantage over the others. We saw Thranduil pull out a pair of light-up glasses and dance and a knight turn into a were-dragon.
