Who can use costume Stock?

...

  • Costumes that were worn for shows or projects be washed and/or sanitized before they are restock.
  • Shows are struck by student workers, the wardrobe supervisor or shop staff.
  • Personal projects are restocked or placed on the restock racks located in the basement or in the shop

*A note about class projects: Every year there are beautiful works made in classes such as tailoring and draping. They are sometimes left in stock. While we appreciate your craft please do not assume we will want to keep it in stock. Please ask costume staff before restocking any personal projects. While our Stock is very big there is only so much space./*

What if there’s a class project and a friend really really wants to borrow something?

They have to make an appointment. Please do not lend out your keys.

What about non-Costume faculty?
