As Drew turns off the lights one last time, our gracious thanks for all those who have supported us throughout the years.

Even though we will cease our physical presence by Thanksgiving, we will still maintain a spiritual presence online and elsewhere. Have a question? Need advice? DM or email us.

Don't forget the Big Bad Bye Bye Sale on 11/15. Details will be posted soon, as Drew is juggling caretaking, the divestment process of the business, taking care of Alan, and three weekends straight of helping school-age thespians excel in their art, content research and creation, and working in retail hell for the holidays.

We would like to have the pleasure of referring our people to visit Ritzy Rags. Alan and Leigh Shannon go back a long way. And us queens have to help a sister out whenever and however we can. They are on Halloween Hours right now, so please contact them to help you create the look that can kill! (And win awards, prizes, etc.)

And for those who haven't, please consider contributing to Alan's GoFundMe collection, as prices are rising, and it's been challenging to stay afloat.

Thank you for helping us 30 years of creating Theatrical Magic in all its ways. Thank you for your support, especially in the past year, which has been difficult and heartbreaking.

See you soon!

Love and Hugs,
Alan and Drew

Hey everyone!

If you are available for gigs this season, please leave a comment here. We'll be directing people to find this post and contact you directly from there. Please comment on both the Facebook and Instagram versions for equal visibility.

We're doing this because Alan is still touch and go, and very unsure what he's able to commit to this season.

For those seeking services, you may reach out, and if Alan is able, we will contact you directly.

Thanks for your help keeping the Halloween magic alive for everyone!

Happy Fall Solstice everyone!!!

For me, it signifies the yearly salmon run, where these fish swim back to where they were hatched do their final act -- laying eggs, fertilizing them, continuing the circle of life.

It looks like we'll be open a bit longer, so if you're in the need for whatever we have left, we're your resource. For example, at work, we are unloading Christmas merch already, and we were bringing the trees out to the floor. I thought "I have 6 full trees to sell for $10 a bag"....

See you soon!

Hey gang! 🤦‍♂️ Sorry this update is fashionably late, Alan and Drew both had a bad week for different reasons. But don't worry, we're back on track! Hours for the next two weeks are right here ⏰. Stay tuned for the EVERYTHING MUST GO sale (think fire sale, but less flames 🔥). And, oh yeah, we're still open for biz! Hope to see you soon! 😉
