I am responsible for clearing out the apartment of a neighbor who has passed. She was an excellent seamstress and has many costumes she has sewn for a small regional theater she was involved with. She also has a large collection of Playbills. Any thoughts on where these items can be donated?

You could also try reaching out to the tdf costume collection. They are an excellent resource for giving the clothes a second life.

Broadway Cares will only accept donations of playbills from the 1940s or earlier. Unless the playbills are from historic older productions or signed by stars, you might have a hard time finding a home for the collection, unfortunately.

Place them for bid on EBay! lots of young collectors would love them. Especially if it's Heathers or Dogfight, I know a lot of people looking for those.
