Munchkin Costume Info for Parents

Dear Munchkin Parents-
Thank you for joining us on our trip down the Yellow Brick Road! We hope the process is both rewarding and educational for everyone involved. This note is just and introductory FYI message covering a few costume details. After the holiday break a more detailed volunteering list and schedule will be forwarded to you.

Please note that the full production schedule showing the rehearsals and shows is available online at aphswoz.blogspot.com. You can use to see which days your munchkins will be at the high school. Those are the days we will be needing supervisory assistance, so you can do some advance planning before the sign up information is available.

Lori Lossi, our Assistant Director and Costume Coordinator has the following information for you regarding dressing the munchkins:

Costumes for Munchkins:

Boys

*bright, solid-color turtleneck shirt

*sweatpants in black or white (fitted so that we can roll up the bottoms to the knee to make "knickers"). In lieu of sweatpants, black or white shorts may be worn.

*brightly colored knee socks (not matching the shirt, necessarily)

*Footwear should be dress shoes in either black or brown

The 3 boys who will be the "Lollipop Guild" should match, so please coordinate with other parents.

Girls

*bright, solid-color tee shirt

*short skirt in black or white

*brightly colored tights (not matching the shirt, necessarily)

*Footwear should be black flats.

The 3 girls who will be the "Lullabye League" should match, so please coordinate with other parents.

Please make sure that the girls' costumes do not resemble Dorothy in any way (no blue and white check shirts or skirts; no red shoes).

For the Coroner, follow the same list for the boys/girls, but all clothing and footwear should be black.

We may be adding accessories (such as suspenders, bow ties/neckties, wacky hats, vests, scarves) but we will send those details along after the holiday break. (If you see good, inexpensive sources for these items during your travels, please pass along the information. We appreciate the help!)

We on the production staff wish you a Happy Holiday Season and look forward to working with you over the upcoming months.
