Was there something with a few projector lamps or some dresses on those shelves?

Dronning Dorothea Theatre in Kolding has today cleared out its storage, and gave people the opportunity to fill the truck with set pieces, curtain parts, or costumes from the theatre's productions.

The theatre intends to empty the storage before the new year, and in connection with this, theatre manager Daniel Petersen is considering sustainability.

- We'd rather give the costumes and props a new life instead of just throwing them away, says Daniel Petersen.

Sought-after stage lights

Oliver Storm was one of those who stopped by to fill the truck. He is a volunteer at cultural center Fundament in Kolding, and he had specifically set his sights on one thing he wanted to take home:

- We're building a stage, and we need some lights on the stage. And stage lights are quite expensive if you have to buy them yourself. So when we saw that Dronning Dorothea Theatre was giving them away, we just had to come by, says Oliver Storm.

To ensure he got what he needed, Oliver Storm was ready outside the door when it opened at noon.

- The lights were just ripped off, so it was good that I was here, says Oliver Storm.

Many looked on from the start

The storage opened at lunchtime, and after a half hour, theatre manager Daniel Petersen was very pleased with the number of people who had stopped by.

- It's gone way beyond expectations. In the first half hour, there have been 7080 people through, and our equipment and costumes have been particularly popular, he says.

When the evening is over, the storage will be cleared out for the scene materials that must remain.
