The Oracle speaks and all is understood. Jackson, easy on the boots, man. There is a reason it's called acting. m

Oracle says accessories to the white, black or khaki are welcome. But no boots. Spaniel Troilus and Cousin Ferdinand, yep. But no boots. What's happened to invention anyway?
The Oracle.

OK, now hear this, in from the Oracle: yes, we are asking everyone to wear a player's uniform... outfits or ensembles, si vous voulez, of white, khaki, or black. White top, white bottom. Black top, black bottom. Khaki top, khaki bottom. And sandals. You can easily get inexpensive sandals, even if only for the performance. (At Wal-Mart, they cost about 8 bucks.) No flip flops. No Chinese slippers. No pumpkin pants.

ah jeez, kicked upstairs to the Big Guy?...we're in trouble now - Mike's fault! - Maybe I could mime boots...or the taking-off thereof? ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Collinsmailto:mmcollins50@yahoo.com To: weeklong-l@lists.wikimedia.orgmailto:weeklong-l@lists.wikimedia.org ; mnemonic@gmail.commailto:mnemonic@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2010 11:31 AM Subject: Re: [Weeklong-l] Costumes

"Petruchio in Hightops" - great name for a band. But seriously boots might be better. I think Kate and I've just slogged in from Padua. Perhaps I could buy a pair in the area? Anybody know a good bootery near Padua - uh Winedale? Just in case my hightops don't cut it. Now... I'm uncertain. Not sure what I should do. I hate that. I was doing pretty good this morning. But now. All is doubt. The sky is clabbering fitfully. Despair slips beneath me like a pair of bad flip-flops.

I've never done Petruchio in hightops, although of course it seems like an obvious choice now that I've said it.

Waaittt a minute....is this what you wore when you did that scene? I don't mind stealing.

Hi,
What we mean is black, khaki or white on the bottom and the top... same color on top and bottom, your choice as to black, white or khaki. Sandals, yes, what you have that you like that you can run around in...flip flops a no-no, I would assume.
And pumpkin pants...uh, do we have them at Winedale, Bruce, in black?
Thanks,
Mary

Hello there! I seem to have missed the Kathy/Jayne input altogether. Could someone resend?
As for sewing, I don't remember much sewing at any of the reunions, mostly just raiding the old costumes and patching or of course, turning Terry into some sort of creature or another usually with duct tape. At any rate, are you saying black or whatever color you like leotards? black or whatever color you prefer tights? and sandals - any color you have that you like.
Again, please resend the Kathy/Jayne note. Thanks mucho! Joy, Slow of Study

Dear Players,
Inspired by Gail's report of having seen performers all in black, wanting to avoid sewing machines (we only have one week!), fired up about the theatricality of it all, deferring a bit to the weather and thankful for Kathy and Jayne's input, we have decided to forgo all-out costuming. Instead, each of us will bring a basic costume or outfit for the performance, in your choice of all black, all khaki or all white: pants or leggings, and shirt/top; and everyone will wear sandals. (Bring your own sandals, too.)
We will then raid the Winedale costume shop - hats, shawls, vests, swords, rubber chickens, fobs and bibelots ... and, courtesy of Jayne's mom, we'll have big swatches of fabric ... all to gussy up our roles.
Heigh ho!
Mary for Doc/Committee
