Hey Facebook Friends.
I am hoping for some ideas and suggestions:)
Partnerships or space sharing ideas.

Christine Harvey Who runs the Not so Amateur Amateurs and myself are looking for ideas to host our costume house this coming season.

The city is lacking a costume store that rents costumes now that Audrey’s has closed.

There is no where for schools hosting plays or themed events to graduation robes.
Christine has thousands of costumes from hundreds of plays

And we now have the stock from Audrey’s. We intend to keep prices very reasonable and also offer retail costumes.

We hope to collect donations of used or new costumes and offer them at huge discounted prices. A portion of any and all sales will be put towards young peoples theatre. Christine offers free programming for the children of Kingston year round. They just did a production of Annie at the Domino Theatre that was free for all youth.

Do you know of a space?
We would love to hear what you think!

From Batman, Dumb and Dumber, Santa, Elves, Gingerbread to Aprons for plays. We have a huge costume room and we are day by day getting ready to do this thing!!!
