Tracy Theatre Originals began in Boston in the 1890's as the Tracy Music Library, a music rental service for sacred and secular music, including the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. The business grew to include scripts & scores for musical theatre and rental costumes, and was moved to Hampton in 1990 by Ann Carnaby, who acquired the business in 1980. For more history, see www.tracycostumes.com/legacy.
Today there is a rental costume inventory of nearly 50,000 costumes for period plays and musicals supplying events locally, and theatrical productions worldwide.
A full inventory of theatrical makeup including special character effects products, costume accessories, and wigs are available in the retail store year round - shoppers welcome.
Individual costume rentals are $125.00 for 48 hours by appointment. Rental includes a fitting & alterations, accessories, and cleaning of the costume when it returns.
