Reunion
WAGON TRAIN SHOW REUNION
July 3 and 4
 
In the best of all possible worlds, those handsome outfits from 1976 that Montez designed and built would be freshly laundered and hanging on racks down at TAPS waiting for you. (For non-Penn Staters, TAPS is the acronym for Theatre Arts Production Studios.)
 
And of course we know that each of you still has exactly the same measurements you did in 1976. . .   Easy, no problem.  
 
But alas, although Montez did a thorough investigation of the costume collection at TAPS, no Wagon Train Show duds came to light.  
 
So, we have the following suggestions for what to wear on July 3 and 4.
 
FOR THE LADIES:
 
Montez asks that you bring a white blouse and a long skirt.  If you don’t have a long skirt, she can provide one from the costume shop at TAPS.
 
No-nos: bare midriffs, stiletto heels, and body piercing - except for the ears.
 
FOR THE GENTLEMEN:
 
Montez asks that you bring denim blue jeans and boots.  If you don’t have boots, then leather shoes.  And if you still have a cowboy hat, bring it along.  Montez will provide Western plaid shirts from the costume shop for all of you.
 
No-nos: 70s leisure suits, stiletto heels and body piercing - except of course for the ears.  
 
And if you still need help, be in touch with Montez.
 
July 1 and 2
 
For the rehearsals and social events, come as you are and be comfortable.  And we encourage bare midriffs, stiletto heels and any kind of body piercing . . .
