The Many Hands that Make ‘The Moors’
The Middlebury College Costume Shop in the Department of Theatre has been feverishly working on costumes for their upcoming production of ‘The Moors’ by Jen Silverman. Directed by Prof. Michole Biancosino and costume designed by Prof. Summer Lee Jack, ‘The Moors’ is set in the mid-19th century with all its corsety goodness! For the past two months, 30 people have been building all the costumes from the skin out. This means corsets galore, petticoats a-flutter, miles and miles of delicious fabric. Skilled hands have been preparing sumptuous garments at the machine and by hand for your delight in December!!
Featuring the hands of: Emma Barrett, Lu Mena, Meili Huang, Molly Dorion, Rose Saint-Clair, Robin Foster Cole, Charlotte Roberts, Julia Breckenridge
