Rising to the challenges of 2020, like so many have, Stage School’s costume department has gone above and beyond to assist us in sourcing clothing and accessories in line with the design and vision of our VCE students. So accommodating, understanding and supportive, Jen and her team have really taken the anxiety out of this element of the Monologue Exam for us. Can’t thank you enough!

Keira Lyons​, Head of Drama & Performing Arts, Camberwell Girls Grammar School



We were very impressed with Stage School Australia’s performance of ‘Seussical’ so when it was time for our college to stage this production, we went straight to the source! Not only were we provided with the main players’ costumes, Stage School Australia were able to help us clothe our entire ensemble, some 60 students. The customer service and support of the wardrobe staff was friendly, informative and incredibly patient. During the stress of production time, Stage School Australia’s services were invaluable.

I would recommend using Stage School Australia for all your costuming needs. Their range is HUGE and they have options and sizes to suit all ages. The staff understand what goes in to organising a performance - whether it’s a concert for 200 students or a solo dance routine which is really helpful. I’ve used Stage School Australia for over 5 concerts this year, and always receive great feedback on the quality of the costumes!
