For nearly 15 years, Jennifer Kleine (Hillsboro Players costumer and alumni parent) has been quietly and skillfully shaping the look of our shows. For this production, she designed and constructed 3 of Dolly Levi’s looks lovingly nicknamed Yonkers, Parade, & Harmonia (featured in that order). We wanted to shine the spotlight on not only to look at these stunning Dolly costumes one more time, but to also celebrate the legacy she has created with The Hillsboro Players! We are so grateful for the artistry, time, and care she poured into these 3 beautiful pieces and all of the other costumes she has designed and built for us in the past! If you’ve been lucky enough to wear a Jennifer Kleine original you know first hand the emotion, polish, and pizzazz her looks bring to a character!
All of the other gorgeous costumes for Hello, Dolly were designed and curated by Beth Dinkle and rentals were provided by Tina’s Productions, Inc! Student costume crew chiefs for this show were Ella Lovvorn & Anna Kate Weaver. Wig design & construction by Cassie Hamilton Olsen . Student wig crew chief credit for this production goes to Amanda Gualda & Bridget Fornes.
It takes a village and we are so thankful to the wonderful women who head up our wardrobe department! 🧵🪡
