Costuming Update

thanks to whoever brought in Marine uniform! One question - can we move buttons a little to give actor some breathing room? Also did you bring a cap in?
If orphans who have speaking parts or are part of core group have parents who bought them costumes...fine...we can make it all work. I am going to Astoria on Monday to borrow from Coaster Theater as they have done Annie 6 times and no local schools ever got back to me. So we should be able to start fittings Tuesday..parents can start bringing in what they have. We now have a rack set up specifically for those costumes....if I have any costume crew, they can join me and I will explain what needs to be done when I am not there. That generally means, taking costumes brought in by parents, tagging and hanging the pieces, fitting some people (I will explain what that entails) and labeling their costumes. It means you cannot disappear and never be seen again....I really need to know that there is some contact person from wardrobe there at all times and who can relay issues to me promptly when I can't be there (sorry that I am not independently wealthy and still have to have day jobs..it's not my choice, believe me and anyone with a single, straight rich carpenter friend who needs a good girlfriend, I will be indebted to for life....free dog sitting and alterations...)
So, I guess we should add thank you to Jeanine Fairchild and Coaster Theater in program.

On my way to Lincoln...after more coffee...

  1. Marychirs, I'm pretty sure there was no cap.

  2. If the person wearing the marine costume has a relatively small head, there is some sort of official looking army hat in Mr. Hart's room (116 or 117) which would probably work.
