I go with Jayne!   A kind of easy going  neutral color scheme that we don't have to fuss over.  And we can gussy  it up with whatever we can find.  And layer it (although we will die of  the heat) so that we can go from villain (all black) to virgin (all white) to  who knows what (shades of beige!)     

 
That sounds like fun to me!
 

 
Love, Terry

Black/white/khaki sounds good to me as a backdrop for adornments.

But instead of tights or leggings and a top in one color, my vote would be for
ANY combination of the three colors and INCLUDE skirts and pants and t-shirts,
etc. For instance, a black skirt paired with a white top; khaki pants and black
t-shirt; a white dress; black pants and black top; whatever. Seems like most of
us could pull our costumes together from basics in our own closets and then find
the adornments when we get there. That would make it easy.

Mary is right, there was no formal discussion of costumes. The idea for the
fabric swatches came from an informal side discussion Kathy and I had. I think
Kathy
 might have talked with a few of the committee members about it? I'm
bringing the fabric whether we use it or not. But I think some of it will be
great - easy capes, tablecloths, headscarves, etc. And NO SEWING!

To recap: Any combination of white, black, khaki. Pants, skirts, t-shirts, other
tops, dresses, etc. That's my vote. But I'll go along with the crowd!

Jayne

Dear Ancianos,

The Oracle's Vestal Virgins are now asking for a vote!

We wanted just pants for men and pants or leggings for women, and minimal other
adornments to suggest character (hats, scarves, yes, boots), in order to have as
must time as possible to work on scenes, thus avoiding choosing a costume and
then altering, washing, ironing, hemming, taping ... it also grew from the
notion we all 21 seemed to like that we might all be on stage as much as
possible, to serve whatever purpose might be needed: crowd, servants, nobles,
becoming a... door, etc. This seemed an exciting idea, but we are not saying
we'll do that, just reminding everyone of the idea.


Choosing owe you for those tights? (Well, you may want to use them, after all.)
We've realized the committee has had weeks to mull over the idea of some
uniformity underlying choices of accessories and props, but all of us have not
discussed it, so let's do so!

We want to play. We don't want to worry about costumes!!!
