Vendor Requests & Referrals
I still rent and sell select props from my own stock, and I’m always happy to help when I can. As I go through the old warehouses, I may find a forgotten item or two and post it for sale. That said, it’s important to set expectations — what’s shown on this website is my entire inventory. Once an item is gone, it’s gone; no new stock will replace it.
Back when this field was my day-to-day world, I kept close tabs on every supplier and catalog. That meant printed directories, hard-copy catalogs, and a long list of personal contacts across the country. But times change. Many of those suppliers have closed, most of those catalogs are gone, and — like me — many of those contacts have since retired.
These days, prop-sourcing works differently. Most currently working props masters rely on a mix of direct networking, theatre prop forums, and plain old web searches to track down who’s supplying what. So if you don’t find what you need here, those channels are your best next step—and where you’re most likely to find current leads.
About Rental Items
The rental price shown by each item covers up to the first 30 days of rental, counting backwards from closing night. Whether you need to have it for one hour or one month, the price is the same.
REMINDER
Rental items are used items. That means that other actors have handled them before. And you know what that means.
They have been dropped, mistreated, and broken – battered, shattered, and tattered – used, abused, chewed and tattooed. All have been repaired many times over and usually show it. No pristine models available from the rental stock.
