BALLARAT Lyric Theatre will host a costume sale at Pleasant Street Primary School this weekend.<\/p>\n
Curated as a fundraiser for the not-for-profit, avid op-shoppers, costume hirers or theatre companies can purchase pieces from Lyric\u2019s archives that have starred on stage or have been rented as dress ups.<\/p>\n
Running from 8am until 2pm on Sunday 28 July, Lyric\u2019s Tess Kelly said the sale will be a real collection of history, with prices starting at $2.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor every show there\u2019s costumes, props and sets, so every so often it\u2019s a good idea to go through and choose things that we don\u2019t use anymore, things that haven\u2019t been hired out as often or haven\u2019t been used in a show recently.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a nice little collection of vintage clothing that hasn\u2019t been actually made as a costume, but pieces that have been collected and used in shows. There\u2019s also other pieces that have been made as costumes, like leotards,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s lots of interesting pieces. There\u2019s a lot of Joseph which would really suit Aladdin type musicals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other items on offer include 1930s style dresses, some suits, dress jackets, and furs. An ice cream van and sausage sizzle will be on site too.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorting the costumes, we\u2019ve had a lot of fun. Some of the committee members have been dedicated for years and there were pieces that still had their names on them from the 90s,\u201d Ms Kelly laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the sale makes us a little bit of fundraising, that would be great because it always goes back into the company and supports whatever our next venture is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Find the sale inside Pleasant Street Primary School\u2019s multipurpose space. Entry is via Mair Street.<\/p>\n
