Broadway costume shops form coalition amid financial uncertainty

Broadway News: Broadway’s costume shops have banded together in a fight for their survival.

A group of more than 40 small business owners, whose costuming businesses create pieces for theater, television, film and more, have created the Costume Industry Coalition to lobby legislators for rent abatement and to try to gain input into the reopening of the theatrical industry. As Broadway and other entertainment sectors remain closed, business has dried up, putting the financial health of these shops into jeopardy.
