Driftwood Players Costume Shoppe will open at 287 Gower Point Road in Gibsons on Friday, Oct. 10.

 

Sunshine Coast Drift-wood Players had a dilemma: a growing costume and props collection and shrinking storage space. The solution? Open a Costume Shoppe! Costumes will now be available to the public for viewing and sales, with all profits going to support amateur theatre on the Coast. Costume rental for performing arts groups and for special events will also be considered.

With the assistance of John DeCleer and Janet Webb of Gibsons Quay Building, the Driftwood Players Costume Shoppe will open at 287 Gower Point Road in Gibsons on Friday, Oct. 10, in time for visitors to find a treasured costume for Halloween.

A grand opening celebration will take place during the Sunshine Coast Art Crawl, Oct. 17 to 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Theatrical costumes, vintage clothing, props and accessories are all available for your delight. It is a difficult process for the costume department to decide which of the more precious items to sell or to keep for future productions. While most items will be clearly marked for sale or for display only, costume aficionados may be invited to negotiate certain more precious items for sale and “borrow back” options.
