Putting on a show? We can help
With a wardrobe of thousands of costumes and a vast warehouse full of set and props, we can help you put on a dazzling show. We have full sets of chorus costumes across various age ranges, and our principal costumes will help create the perfect character.
Many of our stunning sets are stored at our warehouse and available for hire, with a vast array of those hard-to-find props. Get in touch and come visit us to see what we have available. Contact us for more details.
Costumes
Our wardrobe is brimming with hand-made costumes and accessories in all sizes. Whether you are putting on an iconic title, such as Cats, Sister Act, Oklahoma or My Fair Lady, or looking to costume a naval knees-up, Victorian street or fun-fulled farmyard, you’ll find something among our expansive collection of chorus costumes.
Our principal costumes enable you to create the perfect characters. We can help you bring to life the residents of Oz, Neverland or Wonderland, panto or fairytale characters, or the stars of Annie, Oliver or Barnum.
Our wardrobe is open by appointment (Mondays, 9.30-2.30). For queries please contact us or call 01473 212181.
Set
Our stunning sets are available for hire.
With over 75 years’ experience transforming a wide variety of venues across Suffolk for our own productions, we have a large stock of versatile scenery and staging. The Co-op Juniors have performed in an 1,800-seater theatre, intermate theatres, on thrust stages and even a Big Top. We are widely recognised for our scenery and production values and preserve almost all the scenery we create.
Our Ipswich studios house many former West-End sets, re-purposed professional scenery, including elements from the Olympic opening ceremony, and purpose-built items by our own scenic workshop and artists. These, whole or in part, could enable you to create the locations for your productions in any venue.
We also store many of our stunning sets – including re-purposed West End scenery, professional staging and a variety of backcloths.
All our props and scenery are available to view by appointment. To arrange to come and see us, contact us or call 01473 212181
Props
Over the years we have designed and built an array of stage items. We can transport actors around the stage on row boats, Mr Toad’s car, the Phantom’s barge or a country caravan.
Our scenic designers have created numerous animals from elephants and giant moving swans to beasts and monsters. And, of course, we have a farmyard of pantomime creatures: horses, geese and cows (oh yes we have!)
