Tuesday, January 13 - Headshots - 3:30 p.m. - CCC Fellowship Hall
We will be taking head shots of all students on January 13 to include in our program for the spring production. If you happen to already have a head shot, you can email a high-resolution image directly to Mrs. Henaghan. Students will also fill out a short bio sheet. Please wear a dark, solid-color shirt.

Thursday, January 15 – Stage Makeup Class – 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. – CCC Fellowship Hall

We will have a stage makeup class at KEYS during our Advanced Drama class time from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. All Advanced Drama students are required to attend, and all Principles of Drama students are strongly encouraged to attend. Other students who are interested in helping with makeup for our productions should also attend, although for the most part, students will be expected to do their own makeup.

For the class and productions, we will be purchasing several Ben Nye Personal Crème Kit makeup kits in fair/light, fair/medium, and brown.  You can see these kits by visiting this site:  http://camerareadycosmetics.com/products/ben-nye-personal-creme-kit.html

Each student should have their own makeup sponges stored in a zip lock bag. We can keep that with our supplies, or you can keep it with yours. 

If you want to do your makeup along with our instructor, please bring supplies with you to the class.

IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SHARING MAKEUP OR SKIN SENSITIVITIES, please consider purchasing your own kit. The most important piece of your makeup kit is going to be the crème base and powder. Regular foundation purchased at Target, Walgreens, etc., will not suffice.

LINE MEMORIZATION

Please remember that there is an entire cast depending on you to know your lines. Your line(s) could be pivotal to others hitting their lines and queues. Memorization is not a suggestion, it is a requirement. There will be no prompters at any performances. You must hit all your lines!

• DEADLINE 2 – ACT 1 – All lines for all of Act 1 must be memorized by Thursday, January 29
