COSTUMES AND DECORS

• There are some suggestions of costumes and decors in the books that I have used for the plays;

• I ask the students to come up with their costumes by sending some description of what the costumes should look like for each character via e-mail to the parents;

• I have also purchased some animal ears, horns, tails from Amazon.

• Some of the dresses I use in the plays came from a colleague, who offered me a box with old clothes/theatrical costumes;

• You could ask the parents to help with the design of the costumes and decors. For instance I had a parent build three 2D windmills for the Don Quixote play. Another student made the bowties for the narrators in one of my plays.
