[Usittne] Assistant Costume Shop Manager at Williams College

[Cosmo Catalano]

We are searching for an Assistant Costume Shop Manager to start in  
late August.  The official posting below pretty much says it all.  We  
are paying a pretty competitive rate, and this is a great part of NE  
to live in.  Also, you'll have the summers off to take on any design  
or other Costume work.  Feel free to e-mail me, or the Shop Manager,  
Barbara Bell <Barbara.A.Bell at williams.edu> if you have questions.

Thanks,

Cosmo
