Students at costume shop design behind-the-scenes
Gavin Huang / The Dartmouth Senior Staff When a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" required a costume dress that would fit comfortably around two people standing on stilts, costume shop manager Jennifer Bilbo decided to utilize Tyvek, a synthetic construction material used to insulate houses, to construct a lightweight hoop skirt for the characters. The costume shop in the basement of the Hopkins Center is home to a group of students and designers responsible for dressing the actors and actresses who perform in Dartmouth's many plays.
