parts choose a song that each character sings.

- Costume Fittings will begin shortly after the show is cast. I will send out a memo and sign-up sheet. All Wives, Brothers, Jacob, Narrator, Joseph must schedule the first costume fitting in October. Youth Chorus can provide their own costume and accessories if they wish. I will give each chorus member a color swatch for shirts, blouses, socks (bobby socks, knee highs or tights) and accessories, like hats, hair bows, etc. Pants, Jumpers, Skirts, Capris, Shorts must be khaki (tan). Funky colorful shoes, hi-top converse style or low top canvas shoes will work, maybe some running shoes but w/o lights. No black shoes. Blouses and shirts may have a pattern but must be primarily the color given. Neck ties may be worn also, but must be a contrasting color to the shirt or blouse.
- A parent meeting will be scheduled in October to answer any questions, address your concerns and discuss all of the many things that parents and other family members can do to help with the show. In the mean time, if you are interested in set building, painting, costume construction or alterations, promotion, or props, please let me know. I would like to have a set building meeting as soon as possible.
Thank you.
