Theatre Costume

Theatre costume refers to clothing and accessories worn by actors on stage to represent their characters, era, and setting. These costumes help tell the story visually, revealing a character's personality, social status, or background. Designed to be functional and appropriate for movement, they also enhance the visual appeal on stage. Costumes can range from historically accurate garments to imaginative and fantastical outfits, depending on the production. They are usually crafted with attention to detail by costume designers, ensuring they support storytelling and help actors embody their roles convincingly.
