“Whether it’s a late-19th-century evening gown or a grass skirt, Bainbridge Performing Arts has the costume you never knew you were looking for.Peacoats, kimonos, crystals, uniforms and other duds will go on sale from 9 a.m. to noon, Sept. 23.We’ve got a lot of fun stuff, said BPA’s Mykel Pennington. All kinds of things we’ve had to beg, borrow and steal for shows.BPA normally costumes its productions through second-hand stores, sewing volunteers, loans and donations, all overseen by each show’s costume designer.Costumes range from productions as diverse as My Fair Lady, The Little Prince, Annie, Born Yesterday and The Wind in the Willows, and more.While providing for all stripes of everyday sartorial use, the sale is also a prime opportunity for Halloween browsing.Pennington pulled out a polyester shirt – black body, technicolor sleeves and ultra-wide collar.Somebody out there should be wearing this, she said.(The writer rather liked the plaid jacket littered with buttons like MAD: Musicians Against Discos.)Costumes from last year’s A Christmas Carol will not be available, however, as BPA plans to restage the production this December.We try to be responsive to the community, Pennington said. Lots of people came to see it and have been saying ‘Bring it back,’ so we will.Productions are chosen by a board who compiles a list of submissions and whittles it down based on space requirements, the available local talent pool and royalties and production costs. They then read the plays on the short list and make the final decision.We try to provide a diversity of shows for the actors as well as the audiences, Pennington said – usually a drama, a family show, a comedy and a musical comprise the season’s schedule.This year, BPA will produce Deathtrap, a dark comedy by Ira Levin, A Christmas Carol by Dickens, the comedy You Can’t Take it with You by Moss Hart and George Kaufman and the famous gangster musical Guys and Dolls.And if you see something you like on-stage, keep it in mind. It may be for sale next year.* * * * *Bainbridge Performing Arts is now taking patron subscriptions for the upcoming theater and orchestra seasons.
