“I would recommend using Stage School Australia for all your costuming needs. Their range is HUGE and they have options

and sizes to suit all ages. The staff understand what goes in to organising a performance - whether it’s a concert for 200

students or a solo dance routine which is really helpful. I’ve used Stage School Australia for over 5 concerts this year, and always

receive great feedback on the quality of the costumes!”

Primary Performing Arts Co-ordinatorAitken College

“Our middle school musical was an outstanding success, in no small way due to the stunning visuals of our cast costumes, hired

from Stage School. The entire school community was excited by the colour and pizazz of all of our characters. Our production had such an impressive and professional look, made easy with Stage School.

Sarah and Sean were lovely to work with and we will plan to use Stage School again for sure!”

Head of Performing Arts, Haileybury

THOUSANDS OF COSTUMES AT GREAT RENTAL PRICES

Stage School Australia has a proud 30 year performing arts history.

During this time we have developed a huge inventory of over 12,000 high quality costumes for our own productions, which we are now making available to schools and theatre companies through THE COSTUME DEPT.

In addition to large sets of adult and child-sized costumes for specific productions (eg. Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Seussical, Wizard of Oz) we also cover a comprehensive range of themes from animals, uniforms, period, historical and character costumes. The Costume Dept has also invested in unique, bespoke costumes such as the Talking Trees from Wizard of Oz, the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland and a range of mascots and fantastical animals to name just a few.

The following stock summary is not exhaustive, and doesn’t include many one-off character and soloist costumes. We are constantly adding to the collection, so if you’re looking for something in particular, give us a call.

Most costume collections are in quantities of between 20-50 costumes. Some collections can accommodate up to 100 - contact The Costume Dept to discuss your individual needs.

Full costume costume collections, and in some cases stage sets, appropriate for popular productions such as:

• Aladdin• Annie• Anything Goes• Alice in Wonderland• Babe: the Sheep-Pig• Beauty and the Beast• Cats• Chitty Chitty Bang Bang• Conference of the Birds• Grease• Guys & Dolls• Hairspray• Hamlet • High School Musical• Honk!• Into The Woods• Jungle Book• Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat• Legally Blonde• Les Miserables• King & I• Little Mermaid• Macbeth• Mary Poppins• Midsummer Night’s Dream• Romeo & Juliet • Secret Garden• Seussical• Sound of Music• Spring Awakening• Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory• Wizard of Oz

“We were very impressed with Stage School Australia’s performance of ‘Seussical’ so when it was time for our

college to stage this production, we went straight to the source! Not only were we provided with the main players’

costumes, Stage School Australia were able to help us clothe our entire ensemble, some 60 students. The customer service and support of the wardrobe staff was friendly,

informative and incredibly patient. During the stress of production time, Stage School

Australia’s services were invaluable.”
