Theatrical Hire & Corporate Events

Located at our Head Office in Kensington, just 10 minutes from the Melbourne CBD, our theatrical division specialises in theatre productions, television and film, schools, corporate and promotional events. No job is too big or small.

If you're planning a theatrical production or stage event, we'd be delighted to discuss your costume requirements. In the past year we have costumed over two hundred shows for theatre companies, schools and corporate customers.

If you need 1, 10 or 100 costumes, we can help. We offer discounts for extended hires and even have a delivery service that will ship the costumes to wherever you need them to be - labeled and ready to wear, complete with all accessories and wigs. Because our costume designers and wig stylists work on site, everything can be prepared to your specific requirements. If we don't have exactly what you need in our stock of over 80,000 costumes, talk to us about creating something unique for your production.

We have outfitted productions across Australia and even as far away as London! If you are unable to visit us at Kensington you can still order your costumes for delivery using sizing charts for each member of your cast.

Our wigs are the highest quality available and we also stock a full range of top quality face and body painting supplies including Kryolan theatrical make-up. As well as providing accessories such as shoes, jewellery, gloves, hats, corsets and more, we can also assist you with advice about sourcing props and scenic art. We can even supply you with dancewear for your chorus line from our Dance Art stores at Croydon, Dandenong and Nunawading - we really are your one stop theatre shop!

Our costume service is the best in Australia. Please contact Matt or Maureen at Kensington on (03) 9372 3850 or use the online enquiry form to discuss your requirements and your budget.
