Megan Reti is the Costume Designer!
Hi Megan, tell us about your role on The Realistic Joneses:
I basically determine how the characters look (with direction from the director, of course). I think about who each character is and how that might translate into how they dress and style themselves. I do everything from putting together a costume mood board for each character to purchasing pieces to fittings to alterations to planning who wears what when, not to mention also considering hair and make-up!
What is your background in theatre?
This is my third show with Walterdale as costume designer.
What brought you out for The Realistic Joneses?
I’m a full-time university student in the fall and winter, so a summer show fits perfectly in my summer break.
What are you enjoying the most about working on this show so far?
The characters are complex and constructing a look for each character based on the script and what each actor brings to the role has been interesting.
Why do you think people should come see The Realistic Joneses at Walterdale?
Because it’s funny and thought-provoking at the same time. Plus the costumes are pretty cool 😉
Who’s your favourite Celebrity Jones and why?
Tommy Lee Jones – He reminds me of hanging out with my dad and older brothers as a kid watching Lonesome Dove. Plus MIB is a classic!
