Wardrobe Supervisor
As wardrobe supervisor and dresser, I organized and maintained all the costumes and performed all the quick changes for the performances. One key aspect about this show was the abundance of identical uniforms it required. This proved problematic for the mass quick change(s). My solution was to label various chairs in changing locations for me to preset their uniform costumes during the opening number to control the flow of people and garment movement. To keep myself organized, I made a checklist to keep track of the uniforms post-show. My method was well-received and effective.
Special Note: This production and job granted me a nomination in the Montclair State University Foxy Theater Night awards (2024). More information can be found under “about”.
