About Costumes Finding and making costumes is a fun and creative part of being involved in theater. When possible, cast members are included in finding costume pieces. This gives them an opportunity to add their personality. This is also how costuming works in most school and community theater productions - everyone helps. We will have a costume parade for you to show us what you have found, probably the first week of November. This will give time for the costume committee to add and change pieces before full dress rehearsals begin. If we tell you that something you have found isn't going to work, don't take it personally. We look at the big picture so something that looks great on you alone may not work when the whole cast is together.
