Video - Making of Seed of a Nation

Watch the video about creating and making the costumes for "Seed of a Nation"

Seed of a Nation

Lancaster and Penn's Holy Experiment

Looking for pre-colonial theatrical costumes? This show opened in July 2008 and was created to become a regional tourist attraction. Sweeping in scope, the play tells the story of the original settlers to Pennsylvania leading up to the Declaration of Independence. The play has 36 actors playing 240 rolls.

Janell Berté and LOOKING4COSTUMES designed, created and assembled over 1,000 historically accurate costume pieces for the show. Extensive research was required to bring the costumes for this show to life. LOOKING4COSTUMES has a costume library of over 200 volumes... many rare and out of print.

What we Do at Looking 4 Costumes
We can Design Your Costumes
Costume Design
From meeting your script requirements to selecting the perfect fabrics and accessories, Janell Berté and LOOKING4COSTUMES can help bring your director's vision to the stage. Talk to us early in the project with a free evaluation. Save time and money by having costumes designed that look great and are within your budget.
We can Construct Your Costumes
Costume Construction
Our professional staff of pattern makers, stitchers and seamstresses bring your costumes to life. If you need special "quick change" features, or costumes built to last for multiple seasons, we have the behind-the-scene experience to make it happen. In a panic? Rush construction service is available. Call us!
We can Rent Costumes
Costume Rental
We offer many costume sets from popular shows. Rentals are especially cost effective for repetitive costumes, like uniforms, where you need more than one of the same style. If we don't have a specific costume in house, we can produce "build to rent" costume sets for your production... custom work at rental prices!
