Essential to the School of Drama Costume program is our philosophical belief that Costume Production be taught alongside Costume Design. Students not only gain important practical knowledge about how they can work with, and what they can expect from, their future production staffs, but also, they learn marketable skills in draping, tailoring, millinery, dyeing and painting, as well as a constellation of crafts.
Students learn and apply skills needed for a specialized career in the field. Students design several productions each semester throughout their program, including as many as three dance pieces, two to four short television scripts, two subscription season productions and an internship production.
Mentorship is a fundamental component of the costume program and includes expert facility oversight. Four full-time staff members (studio manager, draper, tailor, wardrobe and stock manager) augment classroom training in the costume studio. Faculty are distinguished, working professionals who provide mentoring academically, on productions, and professionally for students' career development.
