2023 - 2024 THEATRE HANDBOOK

Consult with the Costumer before throwing away anything that might be presumed as trash. Any spools of thread, needles,
sewing machine parts, pins, etc. left over from previous shows should be put away in their designated areas. Once again, if
there is any question on where something should go, or whether or not to throw it away, consult with the Costumer. The
Costume Shop must start off the production process with a clean working space; otherwise, it will make things a lot more
difficult further along in the process.
COSTUME SCHEDULE
Two (2) weeks after the casting schedule has been posted or the first Production Meeting (whichever comes first), the
Costume Manager must have the costumes from the previous show restocked (CORRECTLY!) and have set up a working
schedule for each member of the costume/wardrobe crew. The Costume Shop should also have already been cleaned up
and organized by this time. That includes restocking costume pieces and cleaning up trash or left over scrap fabric.
By the start of tech week:
1. Costume “Emergency Kit” must be fully stocked and placed on each side of the stage;
2. A Costume Notes Sheet should be placed in each dressing room; and
3. All costume plots must be finalized and approved by The Costume Designer/Coordinator and Shop Manager.
