what a crazy busy, fabulous week!!
We just finished our first week's run of Blithe Spirit and it has been an incredible week. All shows were sell outs and Friday's show received a standing ovation. I, obviously am not an actess. I am an artist...so... I did what artists do... Makeup, Hair, and Costuming. Megan and Rob are helping backstage doing special effects and general stage help. They love every aspet of theatre. This is actually my eleventh play to work on and it has been, thus far, the most challenging. I actually transform two actors into ghosts...lots of fun. Connie, who plays Elvira, is so easy to transform because she has incredible bone structure, which makes shadowing and highlighting of her cheekbones so much easier than one would think. She really has looked fabulous. the second gal is more difficult because she has a very full face and it's hard to highlight her cheekbones, etc. I also get to age two men and three other actresses.. Iwill posts photos as soon as I find the time. Right now, I am exhausted and am heading off to bed as soon as I finish posting this. just wanted to let you all know that the show has been a blast and has done extremely well.. Night night... love you all!
