PNB's Costume Shop has been in Operation since the birth of the
company in 1972, but it wasn't until the 1980's that it began to be
more than a wardrobe department. While previously having produced
costumes for smaller works, in 1989 the Costume Shop created the
costumes for its first big production, Firebird. By that time the
shop's abilities had grown to the point where they had the capability
of producing all of the costumes needed for a major work. Since 1987
nearly every costume that PNB's dancers have performed in has been
built in PNB's own costume shop. Located on the second floor of the
Phelps Center, overlooking the Gallery Studio where the company
rehearses, this 2,500 square foot space is the locus of the intense
activity of Costume Shop Manager Larae Hascall and her staff.
