Looking for an Unusual Prop or Costume?

As community theaters and schools begin planning for new seasons and productions, may we remind you that NBYT has collected quite a lot of stuff (to be general) in our nine years of producing theater?

If you’re looking for an unusual costume or set piece—especially if it’s from a show we’ve produced—contact our Costume and Props Coordinator Rae Johnson at rae@nbyt.org or Executive Director Darren Farrington at darren@nbyt.org or call 860-515-8115.

Some new additions to our collection are a parrot head umbrella, chimney sweepers, a trick hatstand (to pull from Mary’s bag), and costumes (including Mary and Bert’s Jolly Holiday change) from Mary Poppins. Our last season has also given us a large slop trough and a wooden sign that says “Zuckerman’s Famous Pig”—we think you can guess what that’s from!

Some other items in our stock include:

• Peasant and orphan costumes for children
• Princess, knight, and period costumes for children
• Matching shirts and accessories for elves, Oompa Loompas, or other ensembles
• Animal costumes and hats
• Trunks and treasure chests
• A spinning wheel (for Sleeping Beauty or Rumpelstiltskin)
• A vintage-looking wheelchair (for Annie or The Secret Garden)
• Tables, desks, and chairs
• Portable staging, lighting, and sound systems
• Flats and platforms
• Free-standing doors and windows
