If you’ve always wanted to dress as Lady Macbeth or the donkey in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” for Halloween, now’s your chance.
The Denver Center Theatre Company has cleaned out its costume closet and for the first time since 1992 is putting more than 1,000 items on sale today through Saturday.
Prices will range from $1 to $250 on apparel from such productions as “Richard III,” “Carousel,” “Don Quixote” and “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.”
Included in the offerings are handmade velvet robes and opulent gowns, picture hats and beaded shoes.
“My favorite is the Christmas tree that lights up,” says Alexandra Griesmer, DCTC public relations manager.
Griesmer says theater staff members will be on hand to assist shoppers and will have items separated into such categories as witches and zombies, showgirls and Victoriana. There’s also a hospital section for would-be Dr. Frankensteins.
“There are a lot of accessories — hats and shoes and props,” Griesmer says. “It’s going to be fun.”
