Wigs and costumes are another very exciting part of the show. Like with anything, some shows will have every character with a wig, and the majority of shows have no one in a wig. You can never be attached to your real hair, because sometimes directors will have you cut or dye it to fit a part. Costumes can be big and extravagant or they can be street clothes. It all depends on the show that you’re producing.
Wigs can be a big part of a show or not so much. For a silly show, wigs can add to the costume and the character, but most of the time, wigs are just easier then dyeing hair. For actors, wigs can help them get into character. They feel like they are the character because they don’t look like their normal selves. Wigs could be hair, but they could also be head pieces or different colors. You can make them or buy them. The art of wig making is just that-an art. It’s hard to do and to make it look good and like it belongs on someones head.
Costumes can range from a ball gown to jeans and a tee. Just like with the props, you can make, buy, or rent costumes from nearly anywhere. You can alter things to make them into what you need. Typically for big show, a lot of the costume pieces are made, while for smaller shows and smaller costumes in big shows, pieces can be bought or rented.
The costumes and wigs can be as crazy as you can imagine for any show. It all depends on what the director and production teams have in mind for the show.

It’s crazy what a big difference hair can make! I would love to learn about the wigs used in the hunger games. I can’t imagine trying to do that!
