Plot Synopsis

Charity Hope Valentine is a New York tax dancer (a professional dance partner) who knows there's gotta be something better than the work at the Fan-Dango Ballroom. Innocently she gets involved with an Italian movie star, then seriously involved with the very straight-laced Oscar Lindquist whom shew meets in a stuck elevator at the 92nd Street "Y". Eventually Oscar asks Charity to be his wife but the revelation of her employment makes the union impossible so when last seen, Charity is still a girl who lives "hopefully ever after".

What's a Showplot?

Our Showplot breaks down your show by scene, character, and costume — and is formatted as an order form, so you can just check off what you want to rent!

The Showplot includes our pricing structure with discounts, a rental agreement, measuring kit and more!

And by the way...

The answer to our very most frequently asked question is - NO!!!

The question is: Do you have a minimum order or do we have to rent a whole show?

We believe you should be able to order one hat, two props, an entire show, or anything in between - it's one of your basic theatrical freedoms.
