For 2021, CLOC will be operating with a reduced Costume Crew. We are hiring 3 Costume Crew technicians with diverse skillsets. In addition, there is a Costume Coordinator/Designer who oversees all costume operations. The Costume Crew is responsible for outfitting 16-18 Vocal Company members for the 9 productions of the season.
The costume crew is responsible for pulling, fitting, altering, and/or building the costumes for the vocal company. One costume crew member acts as wardrobe master/mistress per production; they are responsible for maintaining the costumes during the run of a show as well as doing the show laundry. The entire costume department is responsible for assisting with striking and restocking costumes at the end of a run on Saturday nights.
Crew members must arrive on campus by 6:00 p.m. on June 2, 2021 and depart by noon on August 22, 2021. The entire company is required to participate in the final strike on the evening of Saturday, August 21, 2021. Exceptions to these dates will be considered on a case by case basis but must be discussed honestly during the interview process.
The positions pay room and board and a stipend for the summer. For additional information email apply@collegelightoperacompany.com.
