Utah Shakespeare Festival’s Super Sale Coming Soon

Looking for a unique Halloween costume? Or a piece of furniture or prop for an upcoming production? From October 2-4, the Utah Shakespeare Festival will host its annual Super Sale featuring costumes, props, and scenic elements. It takes place during this year’s Shakespeare Competition, where nearly 3,000 high school and middle school-aged students fill the campus of Southern Utah University to perform, compete, and see Festival shows.  

“This sale is an opportunity to take home a piece of Festival history,” says Costume Director Jeffrey Lieder. “There are hundreds of items from previous seasons that we no longer need but could be used by schools, community theatres, or in individuals’ homes.”

Scheduled for October 2 and 3 (8am to 6pm) and October 4 (8am to 2pm), competition participants, other theatre groups, and the general public are invited to check out the available merchandise. There will be hundreds of pieces from past productions such as costumes, fabrics, miscellaneous trims and decor, hand props, Cleopatra’s throne, tables, other furniture, doors, gates, and more.

“We have limited storage facilities and love to give the opportunity to other theatre groups and the community to find treasures from past productions at bargain prices," says Lieder.   

Everything will be available for bargain prices, sold “as is”, and are non-refundable. Credit/debit cards, cash, and checks will be accepted. The sale will be held in the Festival Costume Shop. Entrance will be on Shakespeare Lane (the one-way street that runs along the back side of the Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre), between 100 West and 200 West. Please note that nearby parking may be limited and the adjacent administration parking lot is for Festival employees only, but there are places to pull over to load vehicles near the loading dock of the Engelstad Theatre and the Pedersen Shakespeare Character Garden on Shakespeare Lane.
