A Home for Creative Leftovers and a Heaven for Makers
MISSION

Meet the Dreamer
Patricia Bilello
Founder, Artist, Educator, Prop Builder, Community Grown
Patricia Bilello is an immigrant artist, educator, and craftswoman with a lifelong passion for creating something out of nothing. Raised with limited resources but endless imagination, she found her creative voice through teaching, sewing, painting, and building — long before she was fluent in English. For Patricia, theater became more than art: it became a language of belonging.
After years working in schools, community theaters, and behind the scenes, Patricia founded The Warehouse Project to solve two problems she saw over and over: perfectly good materials being thrown away, and artists and schools struggling to afford what they needed to put on a show.
Her mission is simple: give props, costumes, and sets a second life, and open the door for anyone to learn and create — no matter their background or budget.
The Warehouse Project is more than a prop house. It’s a movement built on reuse, community care, and a deep love for theater magic. And Patricia is at the heart of it.
