Summary

We are seeking a Wardrobe Supervisor / Costume Designer (Intern/Volunteer) for our November–December 2026 production of Much Ado About Nothing in Tokyo.

This role is ideal for someone with sewing abilities and an interest in costume design, garment construction, or theatre production who wants hands-on experience, creative responsibility, and leadership development.
