The principle purpose of the University of Washington Costume Stock is to aid in the productions of the School of Drama and its classes. Other organizations and individuals will be considered if they fulfill the School of Drama requirements. The accommodation of other organizations and individuals should be arranged around the need and schedule of the School of Drama productions and classes.
Organizations requesting access to the Costume Stock must be in a reciprocal relationship with the School of Drama. They must retain a usable stock of costumes and/or items, which will be available for use of the University of Washington School of Drama. Also, they must show that the organization will have a permanent individual who will maintain the items during the loan period and will be responsible for their return.
If there are any questions about these requirements the School of Drama reserves the right to deny access of the costume stock.
