Design, Measure, Stitch, Fit, Tuck

SCR’s Costume Shop is a marvel of texture—fabric, thread, buttons—and it hums with activity and sound—fittings, sewing machines, rustling cloth. The artisans who create the myriad of costumes are fully into the 2012-13 season, having worked already on Absurd Person Singular and Eurydice. Up next: How to Write a New Book for the Bible, Robin Hood and A Christmas Carol. Says Amy Hutto, costume shop manager, “There is so much variety in our season and our pace is so brisk that we seldom have time to get bored! There is always a new challenge on every show.”
