Costumes

=__Wardrobe crew is called at 5 PM on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Please be prompt and bring a snack. We will end at 1015 PM.__=

There will be a costume work call tomorrow, Tuesday, April 5th from 330-5 in the costume shop. Please come and help us finish up before opening!
_ =__**All ensemble cast members must provide the following pieces for their base costume:**__=

===__Men__: Black dress pants, black short sleeve t-shirt, black long sleeve button up shirt, black shoes or boots.===

===__Women__: Black dress pants or black leggings, black short sleeve t-shirt, black long sleeve button up shirt, black character shoes or black shoes.===

===*Actors should begin wearing their shoes to rehearsals in order to get a sense of what they will feel like during rehearsal.*===

===Because ensemble members are cast in many different roles, this base will have pieces added to it for each different character that you play. It will provide the canvas upon which we will add a hat here, a vest here, etc, and will give the audience a sense of who you are in each role.===

===__If you have trouble finding these items or need assistance, please let the costume designer, Mary, know ASAP.__===

===If you are a lead character with ensemble roles (Tin Man, Lion, etc) you will still need to provide your own base costume. We will work out the logistics of quick changes during tech.===

===Questions can be directed to __Mary at mary.c.hunt@gmail.com.__===
