Kathleen Laundy Costume Designer
The scene is set in Vienna, 1874. One drunken evening, when Falke was dressed as a bat for a costume ball, his best friend Eisenstein played a practical joke on him that made him the laughingstock of Vienna. Falke decides to get his revenge by manipulating Einstein's wife, Rosalinde, her maid, Adele, and Adele's sister Ida, to come to a masquerade ball at Count Orlofsky's villa. The guests toast to love and brotherhood, until the stroke of midnight when the joke is revealed.

Research
Th director is setting it in Texas instead of Vienna, so our officer of the law is now a Texas Sheriff and Deputy, like Andy Griffith and Barney Fife. I'm planning on using some of the dresses from Little Shop that we made on Rosalinda since she is double cast and one of the girls was a Ronnette and the other one is the same size as one of the Ronnettes.
