BASE LAYER Information
Base layers at Impact theater are a way for us to allow kids to get into costume and make costume changes backstage. We ask that you provide your student with the items listed under their character. If you have any questions about the base layers, please reach out in the WhatsApp Group. Keep in mind that these will be worn under their costume, so lighter weight items will be best. Please also keep in mind that we will have multiple costume days, where they will be wearing these items. Please try to provide multiple sets of the items, or be sure to wash them between each wearing.
We will have character specific base layers, and will be sure to update with those after costume try-ons
