ONCE UPON A MATTRESS Runs Sept. 27-Oct. 6

Directed by Derek Dunavent

If you thought you knew the story of ‘The Princess and The Pea,’ you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

MSIC_Costume Gallery logoDear Friends of Costume Gallery Newport,

Joy Galbraith and our Costume Gallery Newport (CGN) family are excited to introduce what we call our Second Act – a new business focus! This is good news for us and for you!

Going forward, CGN will focus on our quality custom costume and theatrical design work which you know, love, and support.  We will no longer provide retail costume rentals after our Liquidation Sale.

LIQUDATION SALE BEGINS Thursday Sept. 5th, 2019

Store Hours:

  • Thursdays & Fridays – 11am-6pm
  • Saturdays: – 11am-3pm
  • Sundays-Wednesdays – CLOSED or by appointment

Our liquidation sales are not a closing act, merely an Intermission before our Second Act! We are selling our entire stock of rental and retail costumes in order to clear the stage for our Second Act!  Everything from full production designs to individual one-of-a-kind masterpieces, from historical to vintage productions, and more!

  • Are you someone who loves costuming – playing dress-up, trying out drag, or want to own that beautiful outfit you wore in a show? Come on down! We’ll get you ready for stage performance, transformed for drag, cheering as a team mascot, dressed for themed events, Renaissance festival-ready, spiffed up for snazzy birthday parties, or jazzed for any holiday!

How do you get into the act for our private liquidation sale?

Whatever your needs, don’t miss this opportunity!  Bring your Cash, Credit Cards, Checkbooks, or Institutional Purchase Order verification.  Leave with some amazing costuming acquisitions!
