We've been working hard to sort through our costume stock and we just don't have enough room for it all! Come check out what we've got on August 9 or 10 and dress a cast, find a Halloween costume, or thrift your back-to-school clothes! We'll even have suit jackets if you're a student athlete in need of something for dress-up days.
We're also clearing out our fabric storage, and we have all sorts of weaves, knits, and more - scraps and yards and even a couple of full rolls!
Let us know in advance if you're looking for specific shows/pieces and we'll see what we can do.
We are looking for a person or two to join our team as Hall Supervisors. The hours are during the school hours Monday - Friday. Please contact Mrs. Hinga at khinga@portageps.org for more details and also check the district postings. A great job for a parent while their student is in school. Come and be a part of our PACKstrong community!
