Costumes, makeup, and wigs

A variety of professions contribute to the creation process, bringing to life the characters that will perform on stage. What are the stages in creating a costume or a wig? How does one go from an idea to its realization? Answers, with proof, from the teams!

Lighting

Lighting sets the atmosphere, sensations, and meanings that are an integral part of the staging. Meet the team responsible for setting up the lighting for the performance, overseeing the adjustments, and recording the lighting cues that trigger the lighting effects during the shows.
