Backstage at the Shaw Festival: The World of Wardrobe

Join us on a Virtual Bus Trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake for a peek behind the curtain of the Shaw Festival. We will learn about the process that Shaw's Head of Wardrobe staff uses to build a costume with their team, and then how the Head of Wardrobe Running arranges the costumes back stage and then dresses the actors. This rare glimpse behind the scenes with two theatre professionals will be with Head of Wardrobe Jason Bendig, who came to Shaw from over two decades of experience in wardrobe and costumes in Canadain theatre, and Head of Wardrobe Running Margaret Molokach, who built a career in costume arts after formal training in tailoring and fashion design. The conversation will be facilitated by Suzanne Merriam, Senior Education Manager at Shaw Festival.
