New Harmony/USI Theatre Halloween costume sale October 21
|
Just in time for Halloween, New Harmony Theatre and USI Theatre will hold a combined costume sale from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, October 21, in the Mallette Studio Theatre on the lower level of USI’s Liberal Arts Center. The sale will feature costumes from New Harmony Theatre productions such as The Mystery of Irma Vep and A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine and from USI Theatre productions such as Quilters. Most items will be displayed for sale beginning at 10 a.m. Dressing room space will be available for those who would like to try on costumes before purchasing. Ten very special costumes will be auctioned off beginning at 11 a.m., according to Shan Jensen, director of costume design for both theatres. She said, “It has been several years since we have had a costume sale, so I have a lot of interesting pieces available. We’ll have a little something for everyone.” According to Jensen, the costume sale will allow her to create additional space in her costume shop. “I need more space to build costumes for A Midsummer Night’s Dream at USI Theatre and The Importance of Being Earnest at New Harmony Theatre,” she said. Jensen said both are big costume shows. A Midsummer Night’s Dream runs November 8–19 at USI Theatre. The Importance of Being Earnest is part of New Harmony Theatre’s 2007 season.
