A Little Lady with a Giant Prop House

This is embarrassing to admit now, but when we first saw Suri Bieler pop her head out from behind a doorway as we called out “anybody here?” in the entryway of a 95,000 sq. foot warehouse in Queens, we assumed she might be an office assistant; maybe a weekend volunteer. Because there was no way we were prepared for this achingly sweet, 4 foot something little lady to be the founder and owner of Eclectic Encore Props, the largest prop rental company on the East Coast, with nearly two million props in its inventory, many as big as a fully grown elephant.
