What’s happening at PHAMEtastic 2023

Concert

Join us for an out-of-this-world concert hosted by our beloved emcees (and teachers at PHAME), Jason Rouse and Jessica Dart.

At 6:15, you can rock out with Chameleonica.

At 6:30, our main event begins with PHAME’s own Rock Ensemble, performing hits from Rihanna’s “Diamonds” to “Night Fever” by the Bee Gees. 

Tickets are required to watch the performance—get yours today and join us in person or online.

Costume Contest

It’s your time to shine—PHAMEtastic wouldn’t be complete without our annual cocktail hour costume contest.

You can choose to dress like a star in the sky. Or as your favorite pop star. Or movie star. Or as the painting Starry Night. You could even come dressed as Mr. Vincent Van Gogh himself. It's up to you!

PHAME students will judge our costume contest, and you can immortalize the moment at our photobooth.  If you’re joining us online, just email a photo of yourself in your costume—with Costume Contest as the subject line—to eliebert@phamepdx.org by 6:30 PM on March 9.

Raffle

Only 100 tickets will be sold for this year’s Beach House Raffle.

Each ticket gets you a chance to win a three night stay at the Oregon coast.  You’ll enjoy exploring miles of beach where the forest meets the sea with this stay for up to six people in beautiful Waldport. 

Find our raffle ticket sellers during cocktail hour for your chance to win!  If you’re interested in raffle tickets but not attending in person, please contact Development Director Rebekah Morris at 503-764-9718 ext. 4 or at rmorris@phamepdx.org.
