Costumes

Designing the costumes for Wizard of Oz has all been done by Anna Rutter.  Anna's daughter Emma came to us at age eight (she's 11 now) and her mom has been an integral part of Littleton Dance Academy and Littleton Youth Ballet ever since. Anna has been a blessing for us.  She works at the front desk, helps out as our house manager at our shows, and is also a very talented costumer in her own right.  There are 109 costumes in the show!  There are the main characters of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Lion, Toto, Glinda, the Wicked Witch, and the Wizard.  There are also countless other parts including chickens, townspeople of Oz, crows, Munchkins, heralds, rainbows, poppies, farm hands, flying monkeys, Ozma, and Auntie Em.  Thankfully, just as it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a whole group people to put on a show and we have some terrific volunteers who are helping out with the sewing.
