Cabaret : costume design : honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

As part of the requirements for the Honors College, this thesis chronicles my work as the costume Designer for the Department of Theatre and Dance's main stage production of Cabaret in the spring of 2006. I begin with a brief synopsis of the musical play, then detail the concepts that guided the design process, summarize the historical research that grounded my work, and then move to the design itself. I begin with an overview of the design as a whole and then detail the individual designs for the major characters. I conclude with an assessment of my experiences and my work, which then follows in the appendix to this text.
