For years Berkeley Repertory Theatre has stored its costumes and props in a huge warehouse across the street from its stage, but now it has to relocate its inventory, so it’s time for a clearance sale. Theater folks, bargain hunters, and anyone who loves wacky stuff won’t want to miss this two-day sale at Berkeley Rep’s Stadium Garage, directly across from the theater at 2020 Addison St. Berkeley.

The costume sale is Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m..

“We’ve got the craziest things,” said Costume Director Maggi Yule. “There’s footwear — from bowling shoes to hip waders, from rollerblades to platform heels. There are tons of hats, from turbans to a bird’s nest chapeau. There are clothes — from jumpsuits to wedding dresses — including vintage outfits and recreated period garb. There’s even a bra made of hook tape, a vest made of collars, and a shirt made from a pair of pants.”

The props are on sale Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “Our items are more practical,” said Prop Manager Ashley Dawn. “We’ve got dishes, furniture, baskets, books, curtains, TVs and other household items. Our stuff ranges from dress forms and toolboxes to paintings and patio umbrellas. We even have odd treasures like dragon flags, gun racks, Christmas trees, and a tiger rug, and it all has to be sold.”

The theater’s storage is being relocated as part of the arts district’s continued growth, making room for the new home of Berkeley’s beloved music venue, Freight & Salvage. The arts district also includes the Aurora Theatre, the Jazzschool, Downtown restaurant, the Addison Street Windows Gallery, the East Bay Media Center, and an outdoor collection of public art that includes 126 poetry panels selected by Poet Laureate Robert Haas.
