Cal Shakes is having a costume drive for the Summer Shakespeare Conservatory. The students range in age from 8 to 18; we need pieces to fit these ages, especially the younger ones. Clear some storage space and help the Summer Shakespeare Conservatory students express their passion for artistic exploration!

We are also in need of costume shoes such as sandals and character shoes; and accessories such as scarves, crowns, and hats. Everyday contemporary clothing such as jeans, tee shirts, baseball caps and flip-flops are not needed.
