displays, creating costumes, overseeing projects, working with make-up
and wigs, and other generally creative costume related projects.
Qualified applicants may have experience in fields such as retail,
fashion, or theatre. While costume experience is desirable, it is not

creative are very welcome here.
Sewing skills, creative and artistic skills are not only necessary,

costumes. We provide many tools, paints, glues, mediums, and venues
to express artistic flair. We also look for people who are grounded
in the real world and realize that our customers need to get served in
a timely manner too.
Essentially we are looking for a person who can work the ever-changing
world of a costume shop. We are seeking a creative, yet focused
person who can keep on top of the projects and will ensure that at the
end of the day that the costumes look great and that the customers are
happy.
