We are now accepting applications for the 2026 Summer Season!
COSTUME DESIGNER/ SHOP SUPERVISOR
The Costume Designer/ Shop Supervisor is one of the most crucial positions at CLOC. The Costume Designer is responsible for supervising all construction, pulling, and alteration of costumes as well as managing wardrobe, laundry, and hair and makeup.
Strong leadership, communication and organizational skills are essential as well as knowledge of costume history, construction, fitting, alteration, and hand and machine sewing. Experience with draping and flat patterning is required.
The Costume Designer is the direct supervisor of the five Costume Technicians and reports to the Production Manager. Successful candidates are generally recent graduates or graduate students in costume design.

In addition to the regular season of nine shows, CLOC proudly participates in events that elevate our local community of Falmouth, MA.
