5 Stars: An oasis the the theatre world! (by Jerrold T.)

I came across Lost Eras when we were working on a really edgy play that had lots of flashback scenes incorporated into the script...a friend of mine told me about this store and man, when I went in there it was like getting into a time machine! They have 2 floors and also a ton of old, weird tools and implements, perfect for what I needed, also different furniture from different periods, and clothing...all for rent! The staff helped me make a pile of items(ended up to be a small truck load) and they gave me a bulk rental fee, not too expensive really for all the stuff that I used...will definitely use them again..

Very good store to shop at when you are in the need for any kind of vintage clothing!!! The store is a little overwhelming at first. The staff are all excellent. You can find most anything vintage taht you may be looking for. The prices sometimes can be a bit pricey but well worth the money!!! We went in there to find some 50's clothing for Halloween and it was awesome! They had everything we needed! I recommend you going here. even if just to browse!!
