        there is / There are       Hi everyone!   
I've a question for "there is and there are " 
I know that you use " there is" to enumerate singular items 
For example : there is a mask, a pair of glasses, a wig and a hat in the box. 
But when there are singular and plural articles:  do you have to add "there are" in the middle of the sentence to introduce the plural items ?for example: 
there is a hat, a wig , and a  pair of glasses and there are masks, gloves, costumes and shoes in the box.   
Can you say : There is a hat, a wig, a pair of glasses, gloves, costumes and shoes in the box? ( even if the sentence begins with there's )   
thanks for the explanation
