Season 13- Spells & Superstitions

Costume Designer/Wardrobe for BEETLEJUICE, JR.

About the show:  It’s our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.

Qualifications:  Must be at least 18 years of age and previous costume design experience required.

Responsibilities:

  • Work collaboratively with the Director to serve the story and fulfill the concept/vision for the production and interpretation of the script.
  • Must be able and willing to collaborate with 2-3 high school assistants assigned to the project.
  • Create drawings or collect images that represent the design for the director and cast to understand the costumes.
  • Must be able to sew.
  • Works with the Production Manager to stay within budget for all materials and building costs.
  • Wigs must be included in some costume designs.
  • Must be on-site for all production meetings, designer run, load in, and load out.
  • Must be available for all performances to assist actors with costume needs and tend to repairs and laundry as needed. (Feb 14-23 – Fridays at 7pm, Saturdays 11am and 2 pm, Sunday 6 pm)
