Director’s Note

Les Misérables The core events of Les Misérables are centered on the

instability, poverty, and civil war. Thus was the cycle of life in France for the better part of the
19th century. Hugo’s novel, though focused on a small and
unsuccessful rebellion in the midst of a century of major
revolutions, is the defining work about the era of French
revolution because it revealed the plight of those who
suffered most during the years of unrest: les misérables, the
miserable ones, the wretched, the victims. Les Misérables is
indeed the people’s song. In the redemption of Jean Valjean,
the people of France saw their own redemption reflected
back at them. Soon after, these same people would end the
century of upheaval and establish a government that at last
realized the ideals of the French revolutionary spirit: liberty,
equality, and fraternity.

A 50th Anniversary Tribute to Past Shows

LCT’s New Costume Shop

If you haven’t visited the LCT
costume shop yet, you are in
for a treat, especially if you
worked on costumes before
we moved to our current
home.

You’ll find expansive windows

through which daylight streams,

and you’ll have a sweeping view

up King Street. LCT’s costume

designer, Mandy Parmeter,

assigns projects to volunteers,

and they can go right to work Lindsay Raasch and Shirley
at the two large work tables and Hahn (above) sew buttons,

six new sewing stations! snaps, and hooks, and stitch

hems as finishing touches to
the Les Misérables wardrobe.

Mandy (below) directs her crew during
costume build sessions. Over 100
period costume pieces have been
created for Les Misérables .

Donna Hanson (foreground
above) focuses on a project
while Marsha Erickson and
Francie Johnson are hard
at work at their sewing tables.

The Historical

The huge task of costuming a show has fallen to many since our
beginnings in 1963—too numerous to list here. Before LCT hired a
professional costumer, volunteer designers, tailors, and seamstresses
created all the costumes, stitching in their homes where fittings were
done, too. Volunteers also opened their homes to costume storage in
the early years.

From the top: 1776 (1970), Joseph and the
Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1998),
Where’s Charley? (1967), A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the
Forum (1968), and Mornings at Seven (1986).
