Established Professional Costume House seeks artistic person to work within many aspects of a busy costume shop. Role could include working with customers, pulling costumes for theatres, creating visual 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 mandatory.
