Doc,
When I saw your earlier email today about paying on-line for our guests at the reunion performance for August 14, the thought occurred to me that we weeklongers could do the same thing for the August 7 performance of Twelfth Night if that will simplify things for you and/or placate the Ticket Reservation Gods. Just let us know.
Bob

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!

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!!!
