A dramatic garage sale
July 1, 2021
By Garth Guibord/MT
When the Nutz-n-Boltz Theater Company (NNB) began 16 years ago, it
started with some theater seats, lighting canisters and a light board. Today,
after offering hundreds of performances to thousands of theatergoers, the
attic is packed with a bevy of props, set pieces, costumes and more.
This month, NNB will help clear out the clutter with a sale from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. Friday, July 23 and Saturday, July 24, offering people a chance to walk
away with some fun, useful items while supporting the theater.
“It’s just the accumulation of all the years,” said Kelly Lazenby, the theater’s
artistic director and one of the founders. “There’ll be some good stuff.”
Lazenby noted a few of the types of items that will be available, including
vintage clothes, sporting equipment, dishes, toolboxes, lighting fixtures, bolts
of fabric, lots of hats, uniforms and even fur coats. And with all the costumes
available, Lazenby added that it makes for a good opportunity for anyone
looking to get an early jump on a Halloween costume for this fall or for a
quilter to find a large range of fabrics and clothes.
“It’s going to be all very reasonable,” she said. “I don’t think we have things
that are too expensive.”
Proceeds from the sale will help the theater refinish the floors and materials
(such as wood to build sets) for future productions.
NNB will also hold auctions for the winter production of Ken Ludwig’s “The
Game’s Afoot” at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 27 and 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 28.
The comedy features three men and five women in a play within a play about
a staged production of “Sherlock Homes.”
Rehearsals start in mid-October and performers need not attend both audition
days.
NNB is located at the Boring Grange, 27861 Grange Street in Boring.
