Thousands of Props, Costumes and More Up for Grabs at Muny Garage Sale

For the first time since 2016, the Muny Garage Sale is back by popular demand — and the public is invited to take home a treasure from America’s oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre.

The sale runs 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, on the Muny backlot.

More than 5,000 items will be available, including good-quality pants, shorts, skirts, shirts, shoes, dance shoes, props, scenic pieces, and Muny promotional materials such as banners and programs.

“We’ve gone through our two prop warehouses and cleaned out anything that we won’t use again, so there’s no reason to store it,” said Muny Director of Production Tracy Utzmyers. “There are random props like tables, desks, chairs, palm trees, some tent roofing — there’s a ton of weird stuff.”

Some one-of-a-kind items will be tagged with information about how they were used on the Muny stage.

“If you’re looking for a Halloween costume, you can get something pretty cheap,” Utzmyers said. “Prices are really low because we’re just trying to share these things with the community. Most items will be priced between $1 and $5.”

Shoppers should enter through the Backstage Gate, under the East Pergola. Backstage capacity will be limited to 250 customers at a time. No early shopping will be allowed, and items must be taken at the time of purchase. Payments will be accepted by cash, credit card or check.

The Hot Cider Hustle 5K and 10K are also scheduled the morning of Oct. 25 in Forest Park, so arrival before 9 a.m. is discouraged.

Now entering its 108th season in St. Louis, The Muny — the recipient of the 2025 Regional Theatre Tony Award — is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to producing exceptional musical theatre that is accessible to all, continuing its remarkable tradition in Forest Park. As the nation’s oldest and largest outdoor musical theatre, The Muny welcomes more than 300,000 patrons each summer for seven world-class productions under the stars.
