- Abstract / Summary
- Talks about costume designer Judith Dolan's work on the Broadway musical "Parade." States that she freely admits to approaching the project with a certain amount of concern. Comments Dolan as saying, "To me, the show is not a whodonit. It's about transgression of justice, about prejudice, about victims--a number of issues that are very, very current." Notes that the characters in "Parade" range all over the social map, from powerful politicians and their elegant wives to black servants, child laborers, chain-gang prisoners, Confederate veterans, and the Atlantans who take part in the Confederate Memorial Day parades. Remarks that by taking all these issues into account, Dolan vowed to keep her designs simple and real. Mentions at times, Dolan says, she had to defend her insistance on simplicity and reality.
