Costume Assistant Needed for Passion Play

Costuming is a fun place where the actors come alive in costume.  Assistants are needed to attend orientation, help at fittings, and assist the day(s) of Passion Play.

Orientation: All assistants must attend one orientation before helping at the fittings. It is extremely busy at the fittings and there is no time for instruction. At orientation instruction is given on where the different types of costumes are in the room. It is demonstrated on how to fit and reserve the costumes for the actors, and how to wear the different parts of the various types of costumes. Orientation is March 25, 5:30-6:30 and Sunday, March 31, 11 a.m. before the fitting.

Fittings: At the fittings, the costume assistant helps actors choose and reserve a costume for their character, assists them in trying it on, makes sure all costume pieces are there, and that it fits the actor well. Fittings are March 26 and 27, 5:15 – 7:15 pm, March 31, 12-4 pm, April 2 and 3, 5:15-7:15 pm.

Day(s) of Passion Play: Assist actors in getting dressed, tying belts, helping with headpieces and making sure actors look their best for their part. Assistants may take breaks during the day, join the potluck, and may go through and experience the Passion Play.  Assistants especially help in putting away costumes at the end of the day(s).
