TLC PRESENTS A COSTUMING PANEL
Ever wonder who dreamed up that gorgeous costume on the ingénue? What makes the villain
look so evil? You’ll find out how costumers find period pieces and just what goes into finding or
producing a costume for our local theatres.
Theatre Lovers Community (TLC), an arm of the Albuquerque Theatre Guild (ATG), presents a
panel discussion by talented, notable local theatre costumers. Learn how they get their
inspiration, their experience, their most challenging project and worst disaster, what it is like
working with actors, and more.
