Two designers, two producers, several actors, and a slew of volunteers showed on Halloween to build or alter some of the more than 200 costumes needed for the VOS Theatre production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

For co-director Joel Varty it was a sight to behold.  “It’s amazing to be part of something where people are willing to give up their Saturday.  Seeing Truly Scrumptious pull wig duty was especially fun!”

Some of the volunteers worked for more than 12 hours, indicative of the spirit of community that lives in VOS Theatre.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS WHO CONTRIBUTED THEIR TIME!
