“He’s allowing me some creative freedom in the process. And that’s what it’s about. It’s about feeling a part of the process and being able to create and put your creativity to work.” This article was a super interesting read! I don’t know where many regional or educational theaters would be without rental houses there to lend a hand and provide high-quality resources for onstage magic. I remember in high school we would rent costumes from a local rental house and it always made the actors feel more connected to the art, and there is something to be said about the ability to wear a costume that is professionally made for the craft, it makes them feel more official and professional. Gepetto’s stock is absolutely huge with ten thousand to fifteen thousand pieces in their inventory. I would love to go in and take a look at what they have, I'm sure it’s filled with treasures.
