Costume Rentals

Town Hall Theatre has hundreds of costumes available to rent — from elegant period garments to fun animal costumes for kids! We carry a wide range of sizes, with a special focus on children's sizes. Our costumes are perfect for Halloween, theme parties, fundraisers, corporate events, and theater productions. We rent to individuals and theater companies throughout Ohio. Need one costume or a whole cast? We are happy to help!

Use the links below to learn more about costume rentals. Email us for more information about costumes and rental fees, or to make an appointment for a fitting. Please contact the theatre a minimum of three business days before your anticipated pickup date. The theatre's business week is Monday through Thursday.

How much does it cost to rent a costume?

The cost of costume rental is based on what items are being rented. A deposit will be required.

What will I find in Town Hall Theatre’s costume inventory?

Our costume stock comes from nearly 20 years of Town Hall Theatre productions. We specialize in youth sizes and carry western period clothing from ancient times to the present.

Please note that we typically do not carry costumes for popular culture characters or from movies and television shows.

How long may I keep my rented costume?

Our costume rental periods are flexible. We do not charge extra fees based on how long you rent. We just ask that you provide your specific rental dates when you place your order.

Can I rent from Town Hall Theatre for my nonprofit's event or production?

Nonprofit organizations — including theater groups, churches, schools, and community groups — may qualify for a discounted flat rate. To take advantage of this rate, please follow these guidelines:

  • Send one person, such as a costume designer, with measurements for everyone who needs a costume.

  • Come prepared. Know what you need before you arrive, as nonprofit rentals are self-service.

  • We do not offer fitting space or allow costumes to be tried on from the racks.

  • You may pull extra costumes to give yourself options during fittings.

  • Return any unused costumes before your opening night or event date and we will remove them from your invoice.

  • All costumes must be returned laundered or dry-cleaned with any alterations removed.

Do I need to make an appointment?

Yes. If you would like to rent a costume for yourself or your organization, you need to book an appointment for a fitting. This helps us make sure the costume you rent fits properly, is in good repair, and has all the accessories needed to create a wonderful look.

Our costume shop does not schedule costume rental appointments from June through August. Rental arrangements and pick up for summer rentals must be made prior to June 1.

Do you ship costumes?

We do not offer shipping at this time. All costume rentals must be picked up and returned in person at our location.

What happens if I damage the costume?

The renter assumes all responsibility for loss of and/or damage to all items entered on the rental order for any cause whatsoever. Lost items must be replaced. If this isn't possible, we will charge a replacement cost, which is the amount of money it will cost to replace the item, not the market value of the lost item. In certain cases, we will charge for our shopping time to find a replacement. In the event of damage, the renter agrees to pay Town Hall Theatre such amounts as the costumer may determine for repair/replacement of any items.

What information will I need to know when I call?

Our costumer will need to know what type of costume you are looking for, general sizing requirements (adult, teen, or child), and when you will need the costume.
