Our facilities also serve as academic learning labs:

Costume Shop
Parkland College’s Costume Shop is outfitted for both academic labs and professional productions. We maintain a 10,000-piece costume inventory, which is used for in-house productions and to rent out to other local theaters. The Costume Shop has sewing stations where students can learn the proper techniques for creating, constructing, and repairing costumes. Contact us for information on costume rentals.  

Scene Shop
Our 1,400 sq. ft.  Scenic Studio is equipped with the best commercial-grade woodworking gear.  Along with our traditional woodworking tools, we have a Shopbot 48” x 96” CNC Router table to make complex 2d and 3d scenic elements.  The equipment and methods used in the shop are similar to major scenic studios around the country.
