The Costume Shop at the Department of Theatre and Dance is a bustling place all year long. For each season production, between three and twenty undergraduate and graduate students are assigned to specific costuming duties, whether it is designer, first hand, draper, stitcher or craftsperson. Six permanent professional staff members work in the costume shop with the students and are heavily involved with the design and building process, serving as a resource to the students as well as experienced labor on each project. With access to state of the art equipment and workroom spaces found in most professional costume shops, our students learn costume design, drawing and painting, tailoring, draping, dying and painting, mask making, millinery, makeup and wig making, and styling. The Department purchases fabrics and supplies from all over the world; most of which are accessible via the internet. The Costume Program of the Department of Theatre and Dance is a serious professional training program, striving to prepare students for the type of experience they will get working for a professional theatre.
