The Costumer

Description

The Costumer has been a major force in the costume industry since 1917, involved in everything from Vaudeville to films. My wife Kathe and I, both former High School Theatre teachers, bought the business in 1974. Having come face to face with the many challenges of directing productions, our focus was to reshape the business to support Scholastic Theatre.Kathe and I have directed scores of shows on every level: scholastic, collegiate, civic and professional. We know all too well the innumerable frustrations faced by directors.The challenges confronted when dealing with various vendors and suppliers can be so overwhelming they sometimes take your focus away from the real importance of your work. Costume rental houses, script renters, makeup suppliers, prop suppliers, drop renters, the list goes on and on. We found that few were concerned with our individual needs or sympathetic to the anxieties associated with putting a show together. Through these experiences we realized there was a "hole to be filled." This led us to "change hats" and become costumers.
