Winter Term Costumes: Construction and Design

This is a one-term, production-based activity where students practice costume design and construction skills while working on the MS Musical, the Winter Play, and the Advanced Theater Production.  The term begins by focusing on script and character analysis to inform the design and construction process and then students bring the play to fruition alongside the performers and technical theater students. Past projects have included pattern making, construction, fabric painting, jewelry making, and hair and make-up design and execution. Students entering this activity should be highly motivated and interested in an intense and exciting experience that requires a great deal of commitment. 

Winter Costumes meets each day from 3:45pm-5:30pm. Additional rehearsals may be required depending on which production students are assigned to.  For instance, in the weeks leading up to the Winter Play and Advanced Theater performances, Saturday rehearsals are added as well as late rehearsals ending at 6:30pm the week before the show, 9:00pm the week of the show, and later into the evening for the actual performances.  Based on the size of the crew and production needs of the play, participation will be confirmed during the first week of the term.
