Lethbridge Shakespeare Performance Society scrambles after costumes stolen
The Lethbridge Shakespeare Performance Society had about a third of its costumes stolen on Monday after a Shakespeare in the Park show.
A local theatre group has been left scrambling after having some of its costumes stolen earlier this week.
The Lethbridge Shakespeare Performance Society had about a third of its costumes stolen on Monday after a Shakespeare in the Park show.
The costumes had been left in the trunk of a car in the area of 7th Avenue and 2nd Street South after being washed.
The car was broken into, and the thief managed to get away with the costumes.
A $200 reward is being offered for information on where the costumes might be.
Meantime, the community has stepped up to make sure the show goes on.
'We have scrambled over the last few days, and we have borrowed some costumes from the very helpful theatre community in Lethbridge,' said Kate Connolly, Lethbridge Shakespeare Performance Society president.
'And we have also gone scrambling around to Value Village, and our talented costume designer has adapted some of the things we found there.'

'Thanks to everyone who has helped keep an eye out for the costumes that are lost and all those that have reached out offering support!
'It's amazing to see the community come together.'
