Abstract
The purpose of this thesis was to design the costumes for the Division of Theatre and Dance’s production of An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde. The procedure for this project started by discussing the play with the director James Brown, who shared his thoughts, concepts and ideas for the entire production. This discussion was followed by reading the script and communicating ideas with the rest of the design team. Next, I researched books, articles, videos, and magazines in order to develop a visual concept that would be shared with the director, faculty and design team. After the designs were approved, fabrics were purchased and the costumes constructed. The play was performed in the Gladys Davis Theatre at the Creative Arts Center in November, 1999. All the members participating in this effort coordinated their activities to maintain unity throughout the production that resulted in a beautifully rendered and well-received play.
