Wardrobe Experience
Guys And Dolls (2026)
This year, I decided to work both as a draper and as a wardrobe technician for the same show. I was assigned as the dresser for actors of Adelaide and Nathan. Due to the amount of costume changes designed for Adelaide, I was entrusted to aid in several complex quick changes, some of which I worked in a team of two to three other people. After shows, I paid close attention to the maintenance and organization of costume pieces.
Treasure Island (2026)
As hair and makeup supervisor, I maintained quality checks and the paperwork necessary to manage the wigs, hair styling, and makeup of the actors during the production. I would manage three to four actors personally pre-show, and assigned several wardrobe crew members their own actors as well. The character of Squire had two wigs, one for act one, which I would maintain closely, and a messier one for act two. The squire's act two wig would be removed and thrown, leaving him in a wig cap for a portion of the play. After each show, I reset the wigs to ensure that they remained of quality by the beginning of each day. The play was very movement-heavy, with frequent fight choreography and acrobatics, so the security of the wigs and the sustained quality of the makeup was of high importance. For the makeup, each actor had their own face sheet as set by the designer.
Our Town (2025)
In 2025, I wardrobe supervised a production of Our Town. For this production, most costume changes took place on stage or in the wings. I worked with the stage manager to track which costume pieces belonged on stage, as well as to set racks at the sides of the left and right wings. I worked with a crew of two people alongside the hair and makeup supervisor. I made a itemized list of the garments to track where they went, who would wear them, and how they should be cleaned, as well as name plates and examples of each actor's "looks" to tape to their stations. At the end of the day, each costume piece would be accounted for and organized.
