"CNY Costumes provides a complete costume solution for your production. Debra Ritchey and her team take all the guess work out of a musical by designing, creating, and fitting top of the line costumes for each and every cast member. No other company can compare to the quality and service you receive from CNY Costumes, Inc."

-- Eric Feola, Producer/ Town of Manlius Summer Theater

In my twenty years of producing and artistically directing high school and community theatre I have never worked with such a professional costumer as I have with CNY Costumes. Our production of Jekyll and Hyde was short of Broadway status by all regards but WAS Broadway quality and appearance in regard to costumes. The costumes of our production of Into the Woods were superior! Each student was individually handled and the picture that was presented was Fairy Tale Extraordinaire.

-- David M. Brown, Producing Director/Fayetteville-Manlius High School

As director of both Syracuse Children's Theatre and Syracuse Civic Theatre, I have been extremely happy every time that we have rented a show or had a show built by Debbie Ritchey (CNY Costumes).

The quality and service are amazing and the audience always comments about
how beautiful the costumes look on the actors.

Thanks for helping us out all these years!!!

-- Todd Ellis, Executive Director/ SCT

CNY Costumes has been very professional to work with. The costumes supplied through rentals are always perfect for stage shows and musicals. Each costume matches the characters in each play correctly. The quality of the costumes has been superb as well. We have been extremely satisfied with CNY Costumes and will continue to go to them in the coming years.

-- Tom Nami, Music Director/ G. Ray Bodley High School

I have worked with CNY Costumes on many musical theatre productions, both at Fayetteville-Manlius and for the Town of Manlius. Debra and her crew have provided us with costumes that rival those used on Broadway and in touring productions. The staff is friendly and cooperative, and they always meet our needs. Work with them once and
you will return again and again.

"Debra, we have been rehearsing with your costumes, and I just wanted you to know how pleased I am with all that you sent us.
