2016 has been such a fantastic year for new wardrobes at Charades... but we still strive to keep our existing wardrobes fresh, exciting, and new! After the success of our wardrobe for Spamalot - The Musical, we are delighted to start work on our newest creations - a brand new wardrobe for Annie - The Musical!

The two prop arms are cleverly hidden by the knight's surcoat, and are hung from a loop inside the shoulder brace. The performer (who we all know has to use both arms at first to fight) releases the cord attached to the prop
