COSTUME UPDATE: January 19th
Please bring in your garment bags as soon as possible. These can be left at WMS in the green room. Some cast members have already been fitted for several costumes, so it would help all of us stay organized to have this garment bag right away. You can stick your jazz shoes in this garment bag if you prefer to leave these at the theater to be used at all rehearsals. Please make sure you have your name on your garment bag. Please take your garment bag down to the green room and hang this up once you bring this in.
Have your laundry bin? Awesome. Go ahead and hang onto this. You will bring this in as we approach tech week. It is basically a way that you will organize yourself for things that might not work in your garment bag (wigs, make-up, etc). If you prefer to have a duffel bag instead of a laundry bin, that is fine. This is a way to keep you organized, so bring in your preference.
HUNS: You need a long sleeved black shirt (not a short sleeved shirt). Now that we have received the costumes from Acting Up, we realized a long sleeve shirt would work better.
BOYS:
PANTS: We will need to hem your black pants. If you don't have a black pair of pants or don't want to do this to one of our own pairs of pants, you can borrow a pair of capri pants (or yoga pants) from a mom or a sister. We can pin these if they are too big, for the top of the pants will not be visible under your Chinese tunic.
SHOES: We would like you to have black shoes without laces, if possible. You could do black ballet slippers, black water shoes, black canvas slip ons, or black slippers, it would be helpful. Please see Ellen Kellogg (our costume extraordanaire!) if you have questions.
ALL CAST: I realize that it is VERY exciting to get your costume (what fun!). However, please know that the costumers are working with 40 students with most students having more than 1 costume change. We are looking at TONS of costumes. Please be patient and do not ask to try on your costumes or interrupt rehearsal to ask questions about when you will be trying on costumes. The costumers will come get you as soon as they are ready on the days that they can be there -- I promise! The costumes are BEAUTIFUL, and each of you will look BEAUTIFUL in them!! I just ask that the entire cast be patient with this process.
That's it for now - THANKS!
