Dance Costume Loan Requests
The Theatre & Dance Department maintains a stock of props and costumes from past productions that students can borrow for their work in scenes and class projects. Please note, not all items are available for loan.
It's important that you plan ahead to ensure that you have the items you need in time for your project.
Here's how it works…
1. Choose your items
Contact Katrina in Props or Lex in the Costume Shop to see what they have that will fill your needs. See below for details. They might just be able to leave your items at the Box Office, or you might need to come in and take a look.
2. Pay your deposit
Once you've determined that there are items that meet your needs, come to the Box Office to pay your $20 refundable deposit. You can do this when you pick up items left for you. Box Office hours are Monday through Friday, 2-6 pm.
3. Get your stuff
If items are left for you, just pick them up at the box office. If you need to take a look at stock, you can take your items with you when you find them (after you've paid your deposit, of course).
4. Use the stuff
Break a leg — but not your props and costumes! Take care of 'em! You're responsible for their safe, intact return.
5. Bring it back
You can return your items to the Box Office, again Monday through Friday, 2-6 pm. You'll get your deposit back when the stuff comes back on time and in good condition.
Deposits
You can pay the $20 refundable deposit at the Box Office, via cash, check, or credit card. Each deposit covers up to five items. If you need both costumes and props, you'll need to pay two separate $20 deposits. Be sure hang onto the receipt for your deposit.
Prop Loans
To borrow props, email Katrina at [email protected], to see if we have what you're looking for. Katrina can let you know what's available, or make an appointment for you to come take a look. If she has what you're looking for, you can arrange to have her leave it at the box office for pickup.
You may also come visit Prop Storage, in the Empie stage-right wing, during the posted hours to look through the stock of props. You must pay your $20 deposit before you take your items.
Studio Productions may reserve furniture and leave it in prop storage until tech rehearsals. All other props should be taken with you at the time you select them.
Prop Hours:
- Mon 3-5 pm
- Wed 3-5 pm
- Fri 2-5 pm
Costume Loans
To borrow costumes from theatre costume stock or dance stock, fill out one of these forms:
Upon receipt of the form, Lex will determine whether Costume Stock includes any items that will suit your needs, and/or contact you to make an appointment to look through stock. There's no guarantee that requests can be fulfilled.
You can view available dance stock using the online Dance Stock Catalogue. Multiple options should be provided, in case the costume(s) being requested are unavailable. Feel free to include photos and/or links in the form. If we have what you need, Lex will leave it for pickup at the box office.
For Studio Productions, a z-rack can be made available for costumes to be held. All other costumes need to be taken at the time of rental.
Costumes must be returned no later than the end of the semester they were borrowed — by Friday of Finals Week.
