Where do clothes go after closing night? To the TDF Costume Collection, which houses more than 75,000 costumes and accessories from Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, opera companies and touring companies. This huge inventory is available for rent at low cost to not-for-profit performing arts companies, educational institutions and other charitable groups nationwide.

The TDF Costume Collection provides professionally designed costumes at affordable prices. The reasonable prices not only allow fledgling companies to mount more professional-looking shows; they also help theatres to produce a greater number of new works by keeping production costs down.
