A narrative can be conveyed in various ways \u2014 from words to images \u2026 to what we wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the upcoming play “Little Women” presented by Transylvania Theater, the youngest March sister, Amy, gives away one of her bangles to her future husband when he rescues her. And on a different occasion, her older sister Meg gives him a brooch, perhaps a bit more mature piece of jewelry than a bangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Quite often, costumes don’t get to function in that way,” said Melissa Gilbert, Transylvania University\u2019s new resident costume designer and theater instructor, who was part of a musical production of “Little Women” this past spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania’s version runs Nov. 9-13 in Little Theater. Reserve free tickets to the show<\/a>, guest directed by Derrick Ledbetter and written by Kate Hamill, who gives us a fresh interpretation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic coming-of-age novel. (Also, Transylvania President Brien Lewis, who has a theater background<\/a>, will appear in the play.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theater program director Tosha Fowler said she\u2019s loved the story since childhood, and hearing Gilbert talk about it gave her a deeper understanding of the characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilbert said the story captures the out-of-control nature of adolescence, where everything matters a lot<\/em> \u2014 and, in particular, it shows how these 19th century girls struggled to fit their hopes and dreams into a society that saw female youths as either children or “little women” (i.e. forced into adult roles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think it’s one of the most exciting scripts I’ve read in at least 10 years,” Gilbert said. “The writing is so smart and quick.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the story is set in the Civil War era, the costumes and language are contemporary, which is part of a trend in theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, through the clothing, Gilbert was able to harken back to Victorian times by playing with patterns and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She noted how the university supports opportunities like this for faculty and students to be creative, which is something she’s been looking for. Originally from Arizona, Gilbert earned a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa and served as a wardrobe supervisor and costume associate for the Olney Theater Center near Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilbert, who also led ghost tours in the D.C. area, said Transylvania reminds her of her own undergraduate experience of a tight-knit school community. “I’m excited to see my students grow.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
