Costume and Make-up Information

All students are required to wear stage make-up. The following items are required:
➢    Foundation
➢    Blush (boys should be a neutral color, girls can be slightly pink)
➢    Lipstick (boys should be a brown/neutral, girls can be a little more pink)
➢    Eyeliner – black or brown

You may also send your student with neutral colored eye shadow or mascara. Mrs. Fawcett’s daughter will be bringing some cosmetologists to help with make up application on the days of the play.

All costumes must be in school for all dress rehearsals and should be shown to Ms. Knab before hand. We want students to be united visually through the use of color. All of the buckets clothing needs to be drab, dirty, and worn-out in shades of gray, khaki, light brown, or beige. Other kids need to wear brightly colored clothing. In addition to the attached list, all golden ticket winners need some sort of coat that goes with your character.

Sketches of costumes are (or will be shortly) available on the web site. I’ve also included some links for inspiration. As much as possible, the costumes can be pieced together with ready bought items and added to.

Please let us know if you have any questions or need any assistance. Thanks!
