It's not making fun. It's constructive criticism.

A dresser is also called a costumer. He/She dresses the actors. Duh.

Um, to really answer your question, a dresser "dresses" someone...

Or a large bureau to put clothes and possessions in.

Hey! Why not find the show " The Dresser" and see it....Now there's an entertaining way to know "exactly" what a dresser's life is all about. It's a really touching and funny/ serious play. Happy Thursday! kids!

If you have anything to do with theater you would know what a dresser is

and BTW, dressers work their butts off and a good one is worth their weight in gold.

Since we've gotten on a roll with this thread, we may as well make something good from it (other than flogging the person who didn't know what a dresser is)

How about a nod to those people who do the job. I'll start.

Ken Brown...dresser for Nathan Lane. Great job in The Frogs Kenny...as always

A makeup artist is someone who puts green dye in mac so Idina looks like a witch instead of a model.

A dressing room is any room where Mink Stole starts to yell for no reason.

*in his best Forest Gump voice* "say, what's the title of that guy who comes out and talks on stage before every show starts? He's my favorite!!"


"Applause begets applause in the theatre, as laughter begets laughter and tears beget tears." CLAYTON HAMILTON, "Theory of the Theatre" "I think theater ought to be theatrical ... you know, shuffling the pack in different ways so that it's -- there's always some kind of ambush involved in the experience. You're being ambushed by an unexpected word, or by an elephant falling out of the cupboard, whatever it is." TOM STOPPARD
