Inside Out Theatre and Quest School are partnering again for Most Imaginary Costumes, a community event where professional designers collaborate with disabled young students at Quest School to bring their wildest costume ideas to life! This project is inspired by Most Imaginary Worlds, a Betty Mitchell Award-nominated TYA play by Inside Out Theatre and Quest Theatre.

One elementary, one junior high, and one high school student will be chosen through a random draw and paired with a designer. The designers and Inside Out staff will visit the school in early October to brainstorm and create the Halloween costume of the student's dreams!

The designers will then build the costumes, with support from Inside Out staff. On Halloween, Thursday, October 31st, the designers and Inside Out staff will return to the school with the costumes, followed by a school-wide party, photo shoot, and costume parade!
