Default 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

Michèle
