We have successfully unjammed the door and are now open for our usual business hours!

Last night an attempted break-in occurred at Applause, and in the process, our door has become jammed shut. We are currently working to rectify the situation, but we, unfortunately, are unable to open for the time being. We apologize for any inconvenience and will keep you updated as soon as it is fixed.

As we continue with clearing out the building, everything from our costume creator is now for sale. That includes the rental costumes and accessories, bolts of fabric, sewing patterns, and much more. Feel free to stop in or send us a message with any queries.

Important announcement about the future of Applause:

Due to many factors including but not limited to continued low traffic after covid, building repair needs, and employee health issues, we are sad to announce that we will be selling the building and closing permanently when that happens. Applause will continue to stay open and operate as normal until that day of sale; we will give an update with the exact date when it is finalized. Stop in to browse our current retail sales as well as a large quantity of rental costumes that we will be putting on sale. A huge thank you to all of our customers for your support and patronage over these past 19 years.
