The Costume Shoppe: Stage F'ads

10/07/2021

One of the bonus treasures of donated items! Found these, folded up, in the pocket of a pair of military pants!

Got ya covered!
It's Fall plays and Play Production season! The Costume Shoppe's got you covered -- literally! We're open and thriving! (Weirdly, Google doesn't know what it's talking about! And apparently, canceling a webpage contract is a really good way to get erroneous info posted.) Ah well! We're educators--and play directors--and are better than most at rolling with the flow.

We are still very much Covid-conscious with individual bagging of costumes and using fabric disinfectants.

Break a leg!

We are open! Google thinks we're closed; we aren't! Always ready to costume you for a party, a character in a play, a school project, holiday entertainment, family fun photos . . .

Spread the word!

Welcome back to school -- whatever that means for you and your students!

We're ready to costume your fall show! Taking added precautions, we're extra-sanitizing, plastic-bagging all costumes and including a spray bottle of Odo-Ban (fabric disinfectant) with each school/organization order. Masks can be made to match your costumes--for purchase of $5/each. (At this time, generic masks cannot be made simply because of time and volume. We feel quite certain a member of your community can make generic ones for your cast, crew, and directors.)

121 N. Hastings Ave is our new building!! We have a permanent home in a new location! We’re still working on moving ...

We — ok, I — look forward to welcoming you in our new “home”. The plan is to add services, but for now you can count on us for all your costuming needs.

I’m pleased and excited (and a bit scared) to announce that the Costume Shoppe in Hastings will now offer ALTERATION and (some) MENDING SERVICES!
Costuming will take precedence; but there should be time in my week to hem your bridesmaid dress, take in (or let out) your favorite pants, or replace those darn buttons.
A price list will be forthcoming.
Call 402.463.4660 or PM me.
Happy New Year!

To all State Play Production directors, casts & crews: Break a leg in Norfolk!

11/09/2018

So ... the 2018 one-act and other fall shows have left the building! All totaled: 265 costumes (and all accessories!) collected and/or created, hung, labeled & tagged since September 6, when the first measurements came in—62 days ago!

I LOVE MY JOB!

Feel free to share whole cast and individual photos here!

Well, it's here--the 2018-19 school year! SO--the Play Production season is right around the corner! Directors, you're narrowing your script choice, scheduling auditions, creating a schedule which works around lots of other fall school activities, scrounging blocks and platforms for those all-important levels, and taking selfies with your family so you can all remember what each other looks like as you separate for the season. Oh, and planning a few lessons.

But there's one thing you don't need to do--costume your show. Leave that to The Costume Shoppe! You have lots on your slate; I have only one: creating the best look for your show. Period shows, fairy tales, avant garde, stylistic, whatever your vision for your show is, the Costume Shoppe will work with you!
