During the run of the show, the costume crew stays in the dressing room to keep an eye on the costumes as the students go in and out, as well as helping with any changes noted on the costume plot for the cast. Occasionally there will be quick changes off to the sides of the stage but most changes occur in the dressing room between scenes.
