The whole idea behind costumes for the LSA productions is that people do not spend money if possible. Check at home to see what you have, or borrow. If you have the talent and the time then by all means make the costume. We do not want people hiring expensive costumes and then others feeling they have to also. Remember, on the night it is the students who count, not the costumes.
Please Note: Costumes for the teen classes are discussed in class
