Vintage apparel, children’s costumes and dance wear will be among the more than 300 items that will be available this weekend during the “Purge and Splurge” sale hosted by Tusculum College Arts Outreach’s Costume Shoppe.
The sale will be 1 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 5, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 6. The sale will be located both days in the Behan Arena Theatre on the lower level (side entrance) of the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Building on campus.
All items will be priced between $2 and $5. A wide variety of items from the Costume Shoppe’s sizable inventory will be available during the sale including men’s and women’s vintage apparel, dance wear, hats and other accessories. In addition to children’s costumes, various costume pieces will be on sale as well as group pieces and dance wear.
Started in 2002, and funded in part by a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission, the Costume Shoppe provides costumes not only for Theatre-at-Tusculum productions, but also for local school performances and activities and community productions and programs. The costumes are provided free of charge to schools and the community other than a small cleaning fee.
