Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the EPP production of the  musical Oliver!.
I was fortunate to find that a theatre in Eau Claire, WI had the kids workhouse costumes available to rent and was saved from building
all of them from scratch. Most of the women's costumes were pulled from stock and almost all the the men's shirts came from thrift stores.
Most of the women's aprons, petticoats & bloomers were build by volunteers from the cast. Knowing how hot & muggy it can get on stage in June, I opted for light weight pj pants for many of the men's costumes. Sadly, 3 of out 6 performances were rained-out, so the end of the show was far more bittersweet than usual. If you are costuming Oliver!, I have TONS more photos and would love to share them, just drop me an email & I'll burn you a disk.
