To say Masako Parshall is well-loved in the DFW arts community would be an understatement. We are so grateful for her many years of service and wish her the best in her retirement! Thank you to Marcheta Fornoff, Camilo Diaz, and the Fort Worth Report for joining us at our studio to help honor her storied career. #Ballet #BalletCostumes #TexasBalletTheater
On her penultimate day at Texas Ballet Theater, it was hard for Masako Parshall to step away from her sewing machine or put down her seam ripper for even a few minutes. Tending to the company’s wardrobe — whether that meant designing new costumes from scratch, reinforcing seams or replacing worn elastic — has long been a part of her life. Parshall’s first stint with the company began in 1982 when it was known as Fort Worth Ballet. With the exception of a nine-year tenure at Casa Mañana, Parshall has worked with the dance troupe, now known as Texas Ballet Theater, ever since. “I’m 88!” Parshall exclaimed. “I’m too old to be working,” she said with a costume in hand and a laundry list of repairs she wanted to work through before calling it quits. Her journey to the ballet company — and Fort Worth — is an unlikely one. Photos/video: by the talented Camilo Diaz Read the full story here: Fort Worth Report

The relationships I’ve formed with my fellow dancers, the leadership team, and our incredible audiences will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m excited to embark on a new journey as I transition full-time into choreography, but will forever cherish the memories and experiences I’ve had on stage with TBT. It’s been a dream come true."
