Sterling Renaissance Festival
Wardrobe Manager
​​
Responsible for a crew of two, an assistant and an intern, we costumed 31 actors and over 200 employees. The entire month of June, we constructed new and altered existing costumes for the actors. Once the faire was open, the wardrobe crew was responsible for actors laundry after every faire day and all costume repairs for the entire faire.
