A checklist of how to care for and ship any rented item will be given to renters by the Production Manager.

Damaged or lost items are repaired or replaced by TNB at the cost to the renter. If the damage or loss occurs prior to the performance use of the piece, TNB may be able to accommodate repair or replacement but this is not guaranteed.

Prior to return all wardrobe / fabric items must be dry-cleaned as per care and handling instructions provided by the Production Manager or a cleaning fee will be charged. DO NOT MACHINE WASH ANY COSTUME PIECES. If a costume leaves on a hanger, it must return on a hanger.

All items must be returned to a TNB staff member IN PERSON. Any items simply dropped off may result in refusal of future rentals.
