Act 1, Scene 5

During scene 5, Mercutio is trying to convince Romeo to go to the party.  Benvolio and some other "maskers" are in  this scene as well.  Because they are Montagues, the characters will be wearing some sort of red and a mask over their face because it is a formal costume party.  The masks will be provided by props.  Romeo will be in a red button down with a white tie and black pants.  Benvolio also be seen in red-- a red shirt and jeans or black pants.  Benvolio's costumes should be kept gender neutral because our school has a girl playing the character, while the other school casted a boy.  The other actors will be wearing formal wear with the same color scheme.  Above, I have a scanned copy of the sketches I made for act 1, scene 5.
