It’s fall…but more importantly it’s almost Halloween! As the weather gets cooler, coffee/tea/chai gets warmer, it’s time to use your creative style to dress up for the night you’ve been waiting for—off the stage.
The day that the ghouls come out to play is upon us and we’ve rounded up 7 Goodman-inspired costumes to help you look your best this Halloween—with a sprinkle of imagination of course!
Clyde’s
Tap into your inner #Boss energy and show off your most fashionable attire. Must include chunky gold jewelry and a sandwich in hand.
Toni Stone
Support your home team with a baseball player costume. Whether you’re a White Sox or a Chicago Cubs fan, your favorite jersey will look just right for this costume. All you need is a baseball cap and bat—now where can you find those?
The Who’s Tommy
Smash the competition and channel your inner rockstar with a leather jacket, a turtleneck and sneakers, or a beret and a striped shirt. You’ll be belting out “See Me, Feel Me,” when you do a double take in the mirror.
The Nacirema Society
Impress your guests with your Nacirema white. Who says white dresses are only reserved for weddings? Shop your closet and pretend you’re GRACIE DUNBAR getting ready for your special debut.
LUCHA TEOTL
Still wrestling with what to wear? Embody the spirit of a luchador with your favorite spandex apparel and strike a pose like HUITZI and COYOL. Feeling inspired? Get crafty and make your own custom luchador mask with…stuff you’ve got at home in that one drawer you’ve been meaning to clean out. Don’t have the time? Check out Colores Mexicanos for a cool variety of luchador masks.
There’s still to watch the newly extended LUCHA TEOTL—on stage until November 5! Costumes are encouraged well past October 31st.
The Magic Parlour
Bring the mystery and the magic like Houdini. Look dapper in your best suit—with a stack of cards as a great accessory — no magic skills required.
If you’d like to see real magic tricks, spend an evening at The Magic Parlour with Dennis Watkins and prepare to be mesmerized by up-close magic.
A Christmas Carol
Bah humbug! Scowl and grimace and embrace your inner Scrooge with a winter coat, wire rimmed glasses…and a mustache (yes really!). Bonus points if your look matches the winter palette!
Don’t miss the annual production of A Christmas Carol coming to the Goodman Theatre, starting November 18! Learn more.
