Dear Diva,
I am the student director of a production of You're A Good Man,
Charlie Brown. It is a fundraiser for Blake High School theater department.
Because it's a fundraiser, I am trying to budget everything while
still bringing high quality visuals to our black box theater. This musical is
blocked so the actors are “popping out” of comic book panels into the
real world and I was wondering how I could convey a cartoonish
look to the costumes while still keeping within my minute budget. The cast has been working hard all summer to present this show at the beginning of the school year and I would really appreciate your advice.
Signed,
Cartoon Costumer
