[Michael Stein via NEohioPAL]

NEAR WEST THEATRE IS CURRENTLY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR WARDROBE
SUPERVISOR FOR ITS PRODUCTION OF JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR
DREAMCOAT.

SHOWS - NOVEMBER 18, 19, 25 ,26, 27, DECEMBER 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11.

BELOW IS A DEFINITION OF THE POSITION AS DEFINED BY WIKIPEDIA AND WILL BE
APPLICABLE TO OUR PURPOSES.

The wardrobe supervisor's primary responsibilities include:

   - The care and proper maintenance of all costumes
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costume>, shoes, undergarments
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undergarments>, hats and costume related
   personal props such as gloves, jewelry, parasols
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasols>, fans
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(implement)> and pocket books.
   - To ensure the proper labeling, hanging, storage and preset of all
   costume pieces.
   - To create and execute a proper cleaning schedule for all garments,
   ensuring that laundry <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laundry> and dry
   cleaning <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cleaning> are done on a
   regular basis between performances. They also coordinate the regular
   changing of dress shields <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dress_shields>,
   the application of garment freshening sprays and providing clean
   undergarments to the performers.
   - To ensure that all costumes are properly pressed or steamed prior to
   each performance.
   - The wardrobe supervisor also regularly inventories and inspects all
   costumes and coordinates all costume repairs. The majority of minor costume
   repairs are done on site at the theatre by either the Wardrobe Supervisor
   or in the cases of many regional theatres, the onsite wardrobe maintenance
   crew which is connected to the in house costume shop. Most repairs are
   considered "emergencies", however, and whenever possible they are done
   onsite at the theatre before and sometimes during the actual performance.
   The wardrobe supervisor's space in the theatre, with few exceptions,
   contains a sewing machine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing_machine>
   , glue gun <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glue_gun>, and all sewing
   supplies necessary for any type of emergency repair that could be required.
   Most wardrobe supervisors are very qualified seamstresses
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seamstress> in their own right. The rule
   of thumb is that only in the case of very significant damage is a costume
   sent back to the shop for repair. The one exception to this rule are shoes.
   Although most supervisor's maintain a regular schedule for polishing and
   re-spraying of shoes, for safety reasons, actual shoe repair work is always
   sent out.
   - At the end of a production run, the wardrobe supervisor oversees all
   aspects of the costume strike. In the case of rented costumes, they
   coordinate restoring costumes to original condition. This includes ripping
   out hems or alterations that may have been done for fitting, and removing
   any added trim or ornamentation. Sometimes this work is extensive enough
   that the costumes are returned to either the designer's or theatre's shop
   for laundering and restoration. Regardless, the wardrobe supervisor is
   responsible for providing a complete and accurate inventory that ensures
   all pieces are returned.

A good wardrobe supervisor ensures that costumes look as fresh and new for
the last performance as they did on opening night.
