Looking for a headset, a belt clip, some gaffers tape, a ratcheting tool, or any other of a thousand cool gadgets perfect for theatre techs?

Tools for Stagecraft is a terrific and thoughtfully designed online store that offers everything you can think of, plus plenty of items you hadn't.

Outfitted with tools and supplies for stage, film, and TV tech, with support for those staging conventions and church events as well, Tools for Stagecraft is owned and operated by John Klima, who has been an IATSE member since 1967, Tools for Stagecraft is one of those online stores that I find intensely dangerous - you can drop on by to look at a few things, and suddenly three hours have passed. As you browse Tools for Stagecraft, don't miss the "About" section, which offers an essential human glimpse into Klima and his wife Robin, and their founding of the enterprise. Robin passed away after a four-year battle with cancer in August of 2011, and Tools for Stagecraft is a vital and memorable legacy.
