Question: Does anyone know where to get information on the quick costume changes for "A Tuna Christmas"!?
I'm directing a production of this wacky comedy, and the rehearsal materials came with no guide to how the original cast did the lightening-fast costume changes that are a highlight of the play!.

We've come up with some short-cuts such as layering, but there are numerous places where we're running up against a brick wall in trying to figure this out!.

If anyone has ever done a production [either as an actor, dresser, etc], I'd greatly appreciate any guidance you can give!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Each cast member has to practice with their own personal "temp butler" who is responsible for waiting back-stage to undress and then dress again, or strip off the costume layers!.!.!.(usually friends who volunteer for the fun of it!.!.!.)

also!.!.!.spotlight black areas (outside the lighted circle) are good "dark places to switch costumes without leaving the stage!.!.!.or behind props!.!.!.
