EXPRESS YOURSELF! We encourage our Drama Kids to bring their character alive with their own personal touch! That being said, please do not go to any great expense for this costume. Their performance is what will make them shine onstage - not the costume! So now is the time to start raiding your closets (or grandma's). All Drama Kids costumes should cost little to no money to make. Old clothing/Halloween costumes, thrift stores, dollar stores and party stores are great places to check out. Or reach out to your Facebook friends! You'd be surprised how many are happy to loan or give away old Hawaiian or pirate costumes. We provide the props and main signature pieces and whatever else we can for each child's costume. Your child's teacher will also have specific details on what we have on hand. Please refer to the suggestions below for more details. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact your child's DKI teacher or email our "Desk Fairy" Julie at [email protected].

They can dress as pirates or in Greek style togas - or better yet, a creative mix between the two!
