    Throw away prom dresses or other clothes – especially dated ones? I call the highschool drama teacher over to take what he needs for costumes. Budgets are tight. There are all kinds of things the department needs – dishes, lamps, curtains etc

      As a drama student in a high school, I feel the overwhelming need to say thank you. I’ve been through our costumes and such and the closet mostly has cheer uniforms from 10 years ago and weird straw hats, a few tutus, and a small number of costume ready pieces. So thank you for donating, it means a lot and really helps.
