DC Theatricks

Our family and friends have graciously organized a benefit for DC Theatricks. They have asked us to share this with everyone who supported us through our 41 years in business. We greatly appreciate their efforts and all who have been a part of our history.

We went to the Cabrini Film premiere for cast and crew last night at the North Park Theatre. We made around 90 orphan girls costumes, a little work on the boys orphans and rented other costumes and top hats. It’s a beautiful film and really showcases WNY and its talented actors and crew. It was great to see our work still alive on the big screen

That time in 1987 when a new Bangles video came on MTV and they were wearing dresses we made! We didn't even know about it, we found out later they got them from a shop in LA we used to sell to. Video link:

This was the last of the 5 or 6 Royal Christmas movies we worked on. We would get the call only a couple of days before filming “We need the Prince, King, Santa, etc again”. We always got it done in time! On Great American Family channel Dec 27th & 28th

Here’s a story WKBW ran about the final set of custom costumes we made for the national tour of “Annie” playing at Shea’s

It's been one of the biggest shows of the year at Shea's Performing Arts Center, the North American Tour of Annie, and wouldn't you know there's a Buffalo connection.

An idea for a dance and magic shop in downtown Buffalo was how it started. A fashionable couple walking by on a brisk October night stopped by our shop window display and asked hey can I rent that cape. Hmmm rent our magic cape. I suppose how about $5.00? Ok said the gentleman and I’ll return it tomorrow. And that is how DC Theatricks costume shop was born. 41 years of Halloween memories of crazy costume requests. Awesome staff who became our extended family. We are grateful to all of you for your dedication and devotion. We are going to miss the Halloween rush. Please feel free to share your costumes we supplied over the year’s. Thanks for the memories🤩😻🥺❤️

We missed sending our bunnies out for the first time in over 40 years, but we found an excerpt from an amusing story from 1985 that went viral across the country after getting on the UPI wire.
