Costumes
​
Red Cast is responsible for their costume. Wear a nude or light colored leotard under your costume. Please be considerate to the costumes and your costume share partner and wear deodorant even if you don't think you need it. Costumes are precious, and costly to replace. They should always be promptly put back on a hanger, never on the floor or draped over a chair. Never eat or drink in cosstume, always cover up. Take off the costume after each performance. Need some tailoring or a repair? Visit the sewing ladies in the women's dressing room backstage, or ask _______________
A Note About Hair Products:
​
Gels and mousse work great, and hair spray is your friend, but dressing rooms are crowded, so spray in an out of the way, well ventilated spot not to get in the eyes and noses of others. Bobby pins should be used in pairs making x's. No headpiece should ever fall off, EVER, that would be bobby pin user error, and really we should all be able to master the bobby pin. Hair nets should be on all buns.
Stage Make-Up
​
In regular lighting, your face is defined by where the light hits your features and where the shadows fall. On stage, light hits you from all directions and you have no shadows, so you look flat and washed out. Up close, stage make-up isn't so attractive.
​
Here is an example of where to apply highlights and shading to your face.
​
Red lips for girls, brownish red for men and only the center inch of the lips.
​
Outline the eye features. False eyelashes are a quick and easy way to give dimension to your eyes. Don't close the eye liner at the outside edge, just extend out parallel with a slight lift up. Eye shadows should be earth tones. A soft line of brown shadow under the jaw helps to define the face as well. Below is an example of where to apply highlights and shadows. Play with it at home and give it a whirl at tech rehearsals.
