Costume Change Plot template preview

A costume change plot follows every actor through every change: what they exit in, where the change happens, what they re-enter in and how long they have. Wardrobe crew use it to preset costumes and know when they're needed.

Each row records the run time, actor, and the exit and re-entrance location, character and costume, with a final column for the time available. Mark fast changes clearly, and note which ones need a dresser.
