Virginia Stage Company’s Costume Closet Sale is Coming

Friday, August 22 and Saturday, August 23, 9 AM - 5 PM

Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30, 9 AM - 5 PM

If you've ever dreamed of owning a piece of the stage—or just love a good vintage find—this is your moment.

This August, Virginia Stage Company is opening the doors to our costume loft and inviting you to shop the racks. We're making space behind the scenes, which means you get the chance to buy costumes and clothing from our past productions. Think bold characters, timeless vintage pieces, a whole lot of denim, and wearable items that can spice up your everyday look.

From Shakespearean drama to Broadway flair, you never know what you might find. It’s part garage sale, part theatre history, and totally worth checking out.

Whether you're a longtime VSC fan, a costume collector, or just looking to score some affordable and fun fashion, we hope to see you there.

The Costume Closet Sale will take place at the old Max and Erma's space at the MacArthur Center. Outside entrance located on Monticello.
