Costume collectors, fashion lovers, and textile enthusiasts will soon have the rare opportunity to own a piece of Seattle theater history. On Saturday, September 27, Seattle Opera is teaming up with Village Theatre, Seattle Rep, Union Arts Center (formerly ACT and Seattle Shakespeare), and Pacific Northwest Ballet for a one-day sale of costumes, accessories, and supplies. With over 2,500 pieces on sale, there’s no better opportunity to score a one-of-a-kind Halloween costume or simply to add some pizzaz to your wardrobe.
Visitors will find a remarkable range of styles to choose from, with everything from the most extravagant gowns and elaborate outfits to basic items like shirts, shoes, and hats. Costumes span time periods from the 1600s to the modern day, as well as the purely fantastical. Some of the most unique pieces include the Witch’s costume from Seattle Opera’s production of Hansel and Gretel, the Saloon Girl outfits from The Ballad of Baby Doe, and the ball gowns from Die Fledermaus. And for the aspiring fashion designer, a variety of materials and supplies will also be on sale, including fabrics, ribbons, and jewelry.
Admission will be available by time slots, with access 9:30–11:30 AM for $40, 11:30 AM–1:30 PM for $25, and 1:30 PM–4:00 PM for $10. Tickets go on sale Monday, August 25, at 12pm PDT. Door tickets will be subject to availability on the day of the sale, so purchasing tickets in advance is highly encouraged.
