Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: Cyrano-costumes/set

Message

   Hey guys!! Were well on our way to the opening of our production of Cyrano in March...having a blast with scenery. Just wondering how other people have staged this, maybe a brilliant idea will be adopted into our set design!! And also, costuming? How does one cheaply re-create the 17th century? We some amazing seamstresses as well as some costumes left from Three Musketeers, but this cast (of around 30) is getting expensive to costume!!! Roxanne's 4 dresses are definitely at the top of my list, but we need the doublets for the soldier costumes, thats my big stumbling block right now! Any ideas would be fanastic!!

	Hey Neil, I swear to you I will have Cyrano's schnozes out to you by Friday if I can (if the Post Office is open) and you'll have them in hopefully three days. SO much going on and they're ready to go - I just have problems getting to the PO during the day and they're closed by the time I get home from work. BUT I'm off on Friday. If they're closed Friday (small town - even Fed Post Office do as they please) I'll get them out Saturday for sure and you'll still have them by Monday or Tuesday perhaps. Sheesh!! It's all about timing. But they're on the way. Yeah, I know, I know, "checks in the mail" and all that silly rot. Truly, they will be off to you in short order.....dang I need a clone. TonyDi
