For the first time since 2018, Goodman Theatre is hosting a sale of costumes from past productions.
What to expect: Clothing, wigs and accessories from 60 years of plays at the Loop theater, including an American flag dress and a corn dress from "The Music Man" (2019), an elf costume from "The Santaland Diaries" (2018), floor-length gowns and beaded, corseted dresses and more.
Zoom in: The Costume Sale is 10am-4pm Oct. 11, but doors open at 9:30am at 170 N. Dearborn.
- Prices range from 50 cents to $300 and only credit card payment is accepted.
- Proceeds go toward programming.
- Bring your own shopping bag!
Reality check: Halloween is around the corner, so imagine how you could dominate that costume contest at work.
- This may also be a great opportunity for Chicago's many great storefront theaters, which have smaller budgets than the big ones.
