DRAMA KIDS COSTUME SUGGESTIONS FOR “BOLD BUCCANEERS” Dear Parents: Children doing “The Bold Buccaneers” need to dress as pirates or sailors for our end of the year performance. Our performance weekend is May 13-14. They will have a dress rehearsal in class the week prior to the performance. They should “show” their teacher their costumes 2 weeks prior to the performance in class (you can text or email us a picture or bring it in to the class). The day of the show they will need to arrive at the Glenridge Theatre in costume and make-up for their final dress rehearsal and performance. Look at Goodwill/Salvation Army, Party Stores, on-line, or consignment stores for costumes. Call (941)922-8121 if you have any questions.

PIRATES: Shirts: Boys and girls can wear either puffy, long-sleeved shirts, striped t-shirts or pirate shirts that come in a costume set from a party-type store. They can also wear a vest over the shirt. If you order on-line please get approval from teacher so we don’t have duplicate costumes. Also, the captain should have a grand pirate jacket. Pants/Skirts: Boys and girls can either wear black, brown or white pants, either cut off or rolled up. Girls can choose to wear a gypsy-style skirt if they prefer. No jeans please. Accessories: They should wear sashes or belts. They can wear a bandana/scarf or a black bandana with crossbones (party store), pirate cap, or black buccaneer cap with feather. They can wear pirate beads, a hoop earring and eye patch if they like. They may also have swords, but unless they are told to use it in the play, it must stay in their belt. Please no plastic “hooks.” The “Captain should have big pirate hat with feather. Shoes: Black boots, canvas sneakers or jazz shoes, or bare feet for pirates okay. Make-Up: Depending on their character they can have fun “dirtying” up their face with black smudges (brown/black eyeshadow) or be glamorous. They should wear foundation, lipstick, eye liner, mascara, eye shadow, and blush.

SAILORS: Please order your sailor costume on-line: Child White Sailor Costume at HalloweenCostumes.com ($24.95) or Walmart.com ($29.99). Sailors should also wear white sneakers, canvas or Keds style. Sailors should also wear a plain white t-shirt underneath. Make-Up: They should wear some foundation, lipstick, eye linen, mascara, eye shadow, and blush. Boys do wear make-up in theatre as the lights “bleach-out” their features on stage so make-up is used to define their features.
