The Costumer is responsible for identifying the costume needs for the current RACT production; coordinating between the stage director and actor to procure the necessary costumes for each role. Some costume pieces may come from an actor’s own personal wardrobe, while other items may need to be borrowed or purchased. Beyond this the Costume Coordinator will round out the costumes by borrowing or renting costumes from area theatres or companies, with access to some existing costumes and a small budget to purchase pre-made costumes and clothes.
The Costume Coordinator will largely work independently, coordinating any purchases with the stage director and producer, while also working within a budget.

The Costume Coordinator will play an important role in the overall aesthetic of each character, contributing to the direction of each character’s makeup and hairstyles, in addition to their costumes.

A strong interest in crafting will be beneficial for this production role. The Costumer will not be expected to be able to make costumes from scratch (though a definite perk if able); the Costume Coordinate would ideally have at least a basic ability to sew and be able to mend or alter costumes to best fit each cast member if needed.
