Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / COSTUMES: Costume Change Problem
« on: Feb 07, 2005, 12:05 am »
Currently, we are doing "And They Dance Real Slow In Jackson" for our Texas University Interscholastic League One-Act Play... The problem is, we have the same person playing Skeeter and one of the Men due to rule restrictions. The problem is, the man need to be a little more dressed up than the young Skeeter. This really wouldn't be a stretch, but there is a scene change where the two are one after another.
Our current ideas are:
Have Brandon (the actor playing them) wear overalls for Skeeter over his Men clothes.
Or, have him wear khakis and a jacket, and take the jacket off for Skeeter.
We are setting the play in the late 1970's, with Skeeter's part to be in early to mid 1970's, I believe. Do these ideas sound any good? Does any one else have ideas for a quick change like this?
