Every Halloween, the Omaha Performing Arts office holds a staff costume contest. The costumes must be inspired by the current season of shows – and let me tell you, the competition is stiff. After all, we’re all a bunch of arts lovers and many of us get excited to use our costume and makeup skills from our drama club days.
This year, you’re invited to join our Halloween tradition! If you haven’t planned your costume yet, I’ve got you covered with simple ideas inspired by the 2018/2019 Season. You may already have some of these items in your closet or around the house.
