We plan to use a variety of methods to instruct the students. There will be a power point lecture in which the students will be shown a variety of skills needed to work on a Broadway tour. After the lecture, the students will be part of a hands-on training exercise of the various techniques seen in the power point.

Hi! We're Local #887
We represent the costume shops, backstage wardrobe crews, and child guardians of Western Washington.
"We, the Theatrical Wardrobe Union of the City of Seattle, deem it eminently right that we should organize, to achieve by Organization and Mutual Endeavor, the improvement of the social and economic condition of the workers identified with the theatrical and amusement industries, to insure the maintenance of a fair rate of wages for services rendered; to assure the employment of all members in these industries, and to secure to ourselves the unity of action such benefits as are rightfully ours, pleading ourselves in all difficulties to accept wise, honorable, and conservative mediation, that equity may be maintained."
- Preamble to the Local 887 Constitution, 1961
Land Acknowledgment
We acknowledge that we live and work on the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish and Duwamish peoples. We know that despite the promises of designated tribal land stated in the 1855 Point Elliott Treaty, the original stewards of this vast region were forcibly removed by violent European-American settlers, through colonial policy, discriminatory laws, and the burning of traditional villages. We honor the descendants of the Duwamish, who continue to live in the Seattle area and among the Suquamish, Tulalip, Muckleshoot and Lummi peoples, and we respectfully acknowledge the contributions of Indigenous artists.
We acknowledge that capital was created through many forms of exploitation.
We honor all the anti-racism work that was done before us.
Through this acknowledgment, we can begin to reconnect with the history of this region.
