I met with Assistant Costume Designer, Melissa Starks who has spent many hours designing and creating the costumes for The Giver, to speak a little bit about working backstage, some of the wardrobe vocabulary and the overall experience in the Costume Shop!
 |
| " The nice thing about the Costume Shop is that we can work and have fun at the same time. While there are lots of projects going on, we often accompany our work with radio or movies!" |
 |
| On the backs of the dressing room doors we put two lists; one is of all the actors in that room and the other is for actors to report corrections and/or repairs necessary for their costumes |
 |
| There are lighted mirrors for make-up application in each dressing room! |
 |
| On the costume racks, each actor/character's costumes are divided and labeled |
 |
| The cardinal costume rule!! The wardrobe crew does not want to have to clean yesterday's mac 'n cheese off of the costumes! |
