Costumes
Mamma Mia 2023
Welcome! This will be the Costume Page for All Things Costume for Mamma Mia!
If you are a Cast Member, this is where you will find information about trying on costumes (for MOST of you, this will not start until MARCH) and things you need to bring from home.
If you are a Crew Member, this is where you will find information about the costume schedule and what we will be doing when we meet (this will start JANUARY 30th)
If you are helping as a Parent Volunteer this is where you'll find the parent volunteer schedule and any sign-up links (these will also be emailed)
If you are a Parent/Gaurdian this is where you will find information about what your student will need to procure/provide/bring for their costume (this will be things like socks, shoes, or undershirts/camis)
Questions? Concerns? Something you need me to know about you or your student? Contact me anytime at meconvertino@yahoo.com.

Special Message for All Cast Members:
I will be putting up a Costume Plot in the Props Hall for you to refer to starting Friday. It is a map of the entire show and when all of your costume changes are happening. If you have a Quick Change (the kind of change you will need helpers for), that is listed there too, but I will also be talking to you individually.
**IMPORTANT: If you have questions about what you are wearing and when OR if you just want me to go through your costumes with you, please just come see me when you have time. I will be at the school on Friday and all day Saturday.

**IF you need to buy shoes, here are some links to suggested styles/types, but you DO NOT need to get the shoes at these links if you can find a good deal on your own**.
