The Boston Costume Bank
Over many years, the Boston performance community has collected costumes from groups that still perform and that have dissolved. We recognize that access to costumes can be a big hurdle to new groups and therefore are making what we have available for rent. Rental fees are used to maintain costumes and - as needed - purchase new ones to add to the costume bank.
A refundable deposit is taken upon rental but will be returned to you when the costumes are returned clean and in the condition in which you received them (most are machine or hand washable). A catalogue is below. For more information, please e-mail... If you have costumes you'd like to donate to the costume bank, please email us at ....
