Costume

The picture I placed to the right is an example of one of the costumes that was on display in the store. There were nearby signs all around the store that served as a reminder that Halloween is approaching and majority of the signs had children on it themselves, for example, the costume in the picture on the right has a child who is wearing a Star Wars costume. The costumes in the store were geared towards children and marketers knew that the signs would grab attention…

Our group’s version of the glass menagerie is set in the 1940s, the time it was originally created to be set in. However, our director, Allison, offered up the idea of taking a more liberal approach to the costume designs. She also wanted to put a modern spin on all aspects of the show (costuming included). In order to dress Amanda in a way that would fit this vision, I made her clothes classy, elegant, and a tad revealing, albeit cheaply made. All of her outfits are the less expensive…

2:30 am when a task force that specialized in missing people arrived on the scene. The night was cool and a feeling of emptiness flowed through the air as the members of the task force found nothing but, a pool of blood, parts of Zander’s zombie costume, and long skid marks from where another vehicle sped off. Just as the parents thought the situation couldn’t get any worse, the father receives a mysterious phone call from an unknown number. “Hello? Who is this?” The boys’ father…

I’m Nobody’s Puppet My parents had no problem changing the strings, makeup, and costumes whenever they forced me to dance as their puppet to entertain their audience. I had to be quiet and let them lead, smiling, speaking, and laughing on cue. They even strung the corners of my lips, stretching them wide and painful, censoring my emotions. I had two appearances in my puppeteer form: one as the perfect serene Indonesian Muslim, and the other a humble Peruvian Catholic. My parents were both…

In the play Macbeth there were quite a few characters, but the main ones were Lady Macbeth, Macbeth, and the three witches. Macbeth wore one of the craziest costumes in this play. One of his pant legs was purple and he wore a matching purple jacket. He looked like he was wearing a mixture of 80’s clothes and something out of a Disney villains movie. Lady Macbeth wore three outfits during the play. A really cute dress with a hood to go with the witches outfits, another dress that I don't really…

characters with costumes that were crisp and sparkling that joined the characters’ social statuses and the anniversary they were supposed to celebrate. Lowry stated that with the costumes, he tried “reinforcing characters and playing with relationships.” The costumes represented each character and relationship well, but lacked success in conjunction with the set and period. Simon’s play is set in the 1980s at a deputy-mayor’s house in New York with upper class socialites. The costumes were…
