Theater
Costume design, production, and management are areas where The Costume Crew excels. Although our team is experienced in fashion, film, and television, theater is where it all began for us. Whether you're looking for a traditional design concept or something completely new, The Costume Crew led by Frankie Lew has got you covered. Check out some content and commentary from our recent/past work to see the possibilities.
Kinky Boots
Pandora Productions and Redline Performing Arts 2024
Our production of Kinky Boots was all about fashion. Drag Queens are known to be their own designers and seamstresses. It seemed logical that Lola's looks would always be unique and fashion forward and different from the rest. We also wanted to make sure that Lola and her angels stood out every time they were on stage. By assigning bright colors to the Angels and dull, muted tones to everyone else, we were able to make a visual impact every time the girls made an entrance.
The Wizard of Oz
Floyd Central High School 2024
For this production of the Wizard of Oz our Director wanted a classic look using their existing costume stock. At first, it seemed like it would be a complete remount. However, some of the existing costumes didn't fit our current actors. Other costumes had seen better days. Our challenge was replacing and adding costumes that fit the existing design aesthetic. And, of course, we added a few new touches of our own.
Metamorphoses
New Albany High School 2024
Metamorphoses is certainly a challenge for any organization to produce, but especially a high school. After some creative solutions for a waterless pool, we were able to create costumes that helped define the real world and the world of the gods.
Joseph...
ACT Louisville 2024
For this production of Joseph we wanted to provide the audience with something very different from the norm. We wanted to make the show a new visual experience that gave the audience more modern references and connections. We played with color and used it to set the world of Canaan, Egypt, and Joseph apart.
