Make-Up and Hair Test Day

The cast turned the Bell Studio Theatre into a gigantic make-up room Sunday in order to practice applying their character make-up and test how it all looks under the bright lights of the Sloan Theatre.

Ashley, our Make-Up Designer, applies mutton chops and character make-up to Max for the "Port of Siam" scene.

The girls make use of the dance mirror in the Studio to apply their make-up.

Emily, one of our dressers, applies bronzing liquid to Nathan.

Anna helps prepare hair for spraying black.

Testing under 20,000 watts of light! (Click on pictures to enlarge them):
