Behind the Scenes: Costumes


costumes

Located on the second floor of our Rehearsal Hall on the Hill, our airy, 6,000-square-foot costume shop accommodates four three- person costume crews (draper, first hand, stitcher), office space, fitting rooms, a costume and accessory storage area, and a crafts workshop. Our versatile, talented staff can construct costumes for any style or period, using any type of fabric or material. The staff is responsible for costuming all our productions, often for casts of thirty or more.
