The Ringling wardrobe department is divided into three parts: men’s and ladies’ which each have there own private room or curtained area and a third part known as Central Repair—two roadboxes that are usually located at different points along hallways or other open areas backstage. In Baltimore, however, the building setup results in Central having its own room as seen here. At some arenas adequate rooms are not available for dressing rooms and so metal piping and curtains create what is known as “curtain city” backstage. Seen in the background is Rebecca “Becca” Williams of Central Repair working by her road box with its green interior and home to a sewing machine, fold down work table, and plenty of supplies.
