A collage image featuring a photo of a woman dressed up as a myrtle tree, wearing a giant green clock, and speaking into a megaphone. Text around the photo reads: Adar Adornment! A Transformative Purim Costume-Making Party! Text at the top-lefthand corner reads ''limited staggered entry.'' Text at the bottom reads ''March 4th, 4-11pm. Building Stories Studio. 6-8pm on Zoom.''

We will provide you with a bonanza of materials to

implement your costume vision, or you can bring

your own!

Shake your booty to our groovy tunes while you work. We'll

prep our costumes, and shine out in our Purim excess to

exalt each other with style -- and to offer the world a

raucous invitation to laugh at power!

Kids and families are welcome! Alcohol will come

out right after we mark Havdalah at 6:31 PM on

the dot. Partake in our specially crafted Purim cocktail,

or BYOB. Snacks will be provided (in a suave outdoor spot)

and feel free to bring your own!

Please note: Covid is not over, despite what certain politicians

have tried to tell us. Here are the specific precautions

we are taking around Covid for the party:

Everyone attending the physical gathering must be up-to-date on Covid vaccination and boosters AND take a rapid test the day of the event.
Guests will remain masked at all times (drinks with straws under masks), and snacks can be eaten outside.
Two Corsi-Rosenthal box air filters will be running at all times.
We are limiting the number of people physically gathering on-site to 30 at a time, and we will be staggering entry times throughout the seven-hour event.
There will be an online option to zoom into the party and join the festivities from wherever you are!

The main goal of this Purim Costume-Making Party is to

HAVE FUN; to get flirty, show off your Purim lewk,

hang with your friends, and dance! Our creative power

and joy are at the center of our organizing for justice

and liberation.

Let’s shake it up!
