Catalog every costume with photos, sizes, and conditions. Find any piece in seconds, print QR labels for your racks and bins, and share with nearby programs — all from your phone.
Get Started Free — No credit card →If your costume inventory lives in a spreadsheet that's out of date the moment you close it — or in nobody's head but yours — you already know the cost: time lost searching, gear re-bought because it couldn't be found, and pieces that walk off and never come back. Theatre4u is costume inventory software made specifically for theatre programs, so cataloging is fast and finding anything is instant.
Add a costume by snapping a photo. Record size, condition, color, era, and storage location.
Search and filter by category, size, condition, or tag. No more digging through racks.
Print QR labels for racks and tubs. Scan with any phone camera to pull up the full record.
See which show a costume was used in and what each upcoming production still needs.
Invite stage managers and crew with roles so they can help catalog — you stay in control.
Opt in to lend, rent, or borrow costumes through the Backstage Exchange. Your closet stays private until you choose to share.
1. Start with your most-used rack. Photograph and log 15–20 pieces — name, size, condition, location. Consistent short sessions beat one marathon.
2. Print QR labels for your tubs and racks so anyone can scan to see what's inside and where it belongs.
3. Tag by show as you go, so production history builds itself and pulling for the next show is effortless.
4. Share what you'll never use again — that period gown set — with programs nearby, free or for a small rental.
Get your first 25 costumes logged in under an hour. No credit card required.
