Costume Designer

Stage Left Theatre is seeking a Costume/Wardrobe Designer for its upcoming production of the original new work THE DISTRIKT OF LAKE MICHIGUN. The play will be performed in a converted retail space in the Water Tower Place mall. The production is currently set to open the first weekend of February 2025, so all technical aspects will be completed in the final 2 weeks of January.

The play: Shortly after the Great Fire, “Captain” George Streeter and his wife Ma are building a utopian community on a sandbar in Lake Michigan right outside the city limits of Chicago. Unfortunately, his ex-wife Minnie is tagging along to set the record straight. Combining elements of Greek tragedy, vaudeville, farce, history play, and Brechtian lehrstucke, this is the outrageous (mostly) true story of how Chicago’s most expensive neighborhood came into existence.
