Here are a couple of very important things to remember when working with us.......
-Please, be on time. You will be checked in by the AD Department and fill out paperwork before we can look at you. If you are late then the Costume Department does not get as much time to make sure you look great. You are gonna be on TV after all..... just sayin' :-)
-Always come dressed in your first, best choice of the descriptions for your character. After reading the character descriptions that you will find here, make your best pick and wear it in. However, you will ALWAYS be expected to bring options with you so that we can make the final choices. The final choices will be made by the Costume Dept. Please respect that we have the overview of the day and the show, and do not complain about what we ask you to wear.
ABOUT SECRETS & LIES
THIS STORY TAKES PLACE IN THE WINTER, LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS.
We are playing this as a warm, Southern Winter.
You will generally be dressing more like you would dress for the fall.
Light layering will be the key to making this work look. It is what we're doing with the principle actors, and as you know, what they do, you do too.
THE COLOR PALETTE FOR THE SHOW IS ONE OF COOL AND DARK TONES.
The following color chart is a good indication of the tone of the show and general colors. As you can see there is nothing too bright or bold. You do not need to "match" these colors exactly, just use this as a guide for tone, brightness, etc.
Do not bring us all black or grey clothing, please. Much of our show is shot in the daylight hours. Too much black tends to feel like the evening, and it is harder to distinguish detail with black, so it can just look like a hole in the screen.
The reds shown in the color charts are dull, brick color, brown reds and burgundy. Bright red will be reserved for one character in our show, so any true red articles can be left at home.
We would like to stay away from anything that is pure or bright white. This includes dress shirts, blouses, tees, socks, etc. We are reserving true white for our principle actors. See the "whites" on the color chart below.
