Wirtz Prop Stock Home

Welcome to the NEW Wirtz Prop Stock

Please be patient as we work on building out the new site/database.

Notes about the new site:

The old version (https://nutheatrestock.org/props-archive/) will still exist for a while but will not be updated (add -archive after props in any old URLs). The shop will not accept any old link/references for rentals.

When viewing the details of an item, clicking on the medium image will bring up the full image for viewing. Some items have multiple photos to show different views or paint treatments.

If you have suggestions or get errors, send them to Chris. For errors: include the error text and how you got to the error. This way we can reproduce the problem and fix it.

General Rental Info:

The ability to rent props from the Wirtz Center is a privilege not a right. Wirtz is allowed to say no to any rental at any time. Rentals will not happen if the shop is too busy with the mainstage shows.
Wirtz Center's upcoming performances.

Scale sticks:

Pictured in every photo. Each marking is 3″. (Example: White, Black, White, Black would total 1′-0″).

Prop pick-up and return times:

Pick-ups and returns MUST be scheduled in advance. PICK-UPS AND RETURNS CAN ONLY HAPPEN DURING WEEKDAYS. The shop is only open Monday–Friday 9:00am–1:00pm and 2:00pm–4:30pm. Not every time is available — some days the shop is very flexible, others have limited windows.

Please DO NOT show up without scheduling a time and receiving confirmation. Email is the best option.
