THEA 135 Introduction to Stage Makeup

A 12-seat makeup station downstairs and eight additional chairs in backstage dressing rooms make study and application a breeze. Wigs for males and females are complimented by falls, beards, and mustaches. Scars, elf ears, noses and a variety of other attachments, along with a lab for custom construction, allows for those special touches. Commedia, neutral, decorative and fantasy masks are built or repainted for use in appropriate productions. Qualified students can design and create for production. Three current faculty have extensive experience in these areas.
