As we head back down the corridor towards the stage door, we meet Rosilyn or Ros as she likes to be called stepping out of the women’s dressing room. This is where she spends much of her time helping with costume changes and makeup. Rosilyn is listed in the program as costume designer. She decides along with the director what actors wear on stage. Ros is carrying her sewing bag which serves as a general purpose emergency kit containing needle and thread, safety pins, bandages, tweezers and who knows what else for fixing costumes and whatever else needs immediate repair. Ros makes a living buying old clothes, restoring them and selling them as period costumes at several of the city’s outdoor antique markets. Items she can't sell often join the company’s costume collection. Ros trained to be a dancer but decided against a career in ballet when it became evident she was not destined to become a prima ballerina. But she keeps in shape and usually wears ballet gear backstage. She moves around a lot backstage, moving from the wings to the dressing rooms to remind actors when they need to be ready for entrances. Otherwise she can usually be found in the women’s dressing room sitting in a corner with her sewing bag open and working on a garment of some kind. This finishes the backstage tour for now. We have another person to meet but for that we will have to come back at the end of tonights rehearsal.
