    Wardrobe Creative

    Are you creative, detail-oriented, or eager to support the magic of live theatre? Join our Wardrobe Creative Team, where costumes bring characters to life and make every production unforgettable.

     

    Your Role:
    The wardrobe team ensures costumes enhance the story, suit the characters, and align with the production’s vision. Costumes can range from simple modern outfits to elaborate fantasy or historical designs.

    There are two key roles:

    1. Wardrobe Lead – Responsible for all costumes, working closely with the director, choreographer, and stage manager to design looks that suit the characters, fit the budget, and complement the set and props.
    2. Wardrobe Creatives – Help make the vision a reality by sourcing, altering, creating, or hiring costumes. Team members also assist with fittings, repairs, and backstage support during performances.

     

    Time Commitment:
    You can contribute as much or as little as you’re able. Weekly meetings are held at the Chantry Centre in Dursley, and the team may also be needed at occasional weekend rehearsals or during performances for backstage assistance. Even a few hours sorting costumes can make a big difference.

     

    What You Need:
    Sewing skills or access to a sewing machine are helpful but not essential—enthusiasm, creativity, and a can-do attitude are what matter most. Many tasks, like organising and sourcing costumes, don’t involve sewing at all.

     

    Why Join the Wardrobe Creative Team?

  • Be involved in every stage of the production, from planning to rehearsals to show nights.
  • Play a vital role in creating stunning visuals and helping the cast feel confident in their roles.
  • Join a friendly, collaborative team and make meaningful contributions behind the scenes.

    • Step into this creative and rewarding role and help bring our productions to life!
