BRINGING THE RENAISSANCE TO THE MAC

Something Rotten costume designer Bethany Marx gives us a behind the scenes look as she pulls from the extenssive fabric collection at our local costume annex to transport us right into the 1600’s and bring this Rotten spectacle to life!

Every show takes on its own life when it comes to costumes. Some shows are pulled mainly from our stock, and other shows, like Something Rotten become a puzzle of stock items we own, rental items we get from other theatres, and new builds, meaning we build the costumes from scratch ourselves. Bethany works with her team to find the best solutions for each character and each moment in the show. Just by seeing how long it takes to work through our fabrics, you can imagine how much work it is to put together an entire production!
