SATURDAY

Sure, the stormtrooper outfits in all those DIY Star Wars tribute films are looking pretty good these days. But they’re still just homemade facsimiles. Why not snag professional costumes and props for your next fan-geek movie? Or an ogre get-up to wow ’em next Halloween? Paul Tazewell’s disfiguringly alluring troll outfits from a 1998 production of Peer Gynt are among the two decades’ worth of gear, gowns, and other fabulous frockery—left over from such hifalutin’ shows as Romeo and Juliet, Volpone, and The Merchant of Venice—featured in the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Costume and Prop Sale. While Luke’s original light saber fetched more than $200 grand at an auction last summer, I’m betting troll heads may be had for a little less. Restock your closet starting at 9 a.m. at the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Rehearsal Hall, 507 8th St. SE. Free. (202) 547-3230. (Dave Nuttycombe)
