Neverland News – April 28, 2008
 
So I hope everyone is gearing up for a busy but exciting week. We know it was a long day Sunday, but the staff got a lot accomplished and we are ready to do a full dress rehearsal tonight – which is very exciting! If you do not have your costume for dress rehearsal tonight – not to worry! The costume committee is hard at work and will have your costume ready soon. If you do not have a costume yet, wear regular clothes tonight.
 
On a side note – I want all the parents to know that the kids were EXTREMELY well behaved on Sunday. For it being a long day, they were attentive, respectful of the theater and others, and quiet when they needed to be. The staff was very proud of them and I wanted to be sure the parents knew.
 
Below you will find costume info regarding shoes and make up as well as the concession stand donation list.  Your family name will have an item listed next to it. Please bring that item to the concession stand area on the day you are assigned. The concession stand chairperson will check you off. Each item will be sold for $1.

Make Up
Make up for all characters should look natural. See the general tips below.
For Lost Boys,  brown smudges can be added to give the appearance of dirty faces.
For Pirates, some smudges can be added or “five o’clock shadow”. Indians can wear war paint.
 
General Make-up Tips
Stage makeup is very tricky for most people. It  layers thick (and always seems TOO thick when it’s going on), and it looks very garish. Many people actually don’t put it on thick enough. Even if it looks very dark while it’s being done, it still may fade under the bright stage lights. Tips for colors and application are below. These tips were written up specifically for stage makeup, but if you do not want to purchase stage make up you can use regular street makeup if you wish.
 
Foundation goes on first. It’s very thick, heavy cream and should be a little bit darker than skin tone. Two colors can be blended (the lighter one going on first) if there’s no color that’s appropriate. Darker (but not excessively dark) is always better. Start the foundation at the forehead and blend up to the hairline. Then cover the rest of the face, including ears, eyelids, and the neck. The neck is necessary so it doesn’t look like a mask. On guys, the entire neck (back too) is sometimes done, but this is messy. After the general foundation, a lighter color goes over the shadows under the nose and on the chin.
 
After all of the foundation is complete, the blush is done. Choose a rosy color (paler for men) and streak it over the cheekbone. Blend down and up, about halfway down the cheek. On men, it should look naturally rosy, while on women it should be dark enough that it will be seen on the stage as makeup. The blush is also (very slightly) blended over the nose and onto the forehead. The blush will almost always be darker on women than one thinks at first. This must be visible to the audience from under the hot stage lights.
 
Next is the eye makeup, which is the most complicated part. First a very white ‘highlighter’ is used along the brow bone (right underneath the eyebrow) and under the eye. This should be well blended so there are no white streaks, but the area is lightened. Next, a color that’s a little darker than skin tone is brushed over the eye, just above the eyelid but below the brow bone. This is also blended beneath the eye. Over this, an even darker color is put along the top of the eyelid and is blended downwards. It also acts as an eyeliner, but only on the top of the eye. On men, this may be enough for eyeliner. Over this, for women, find an even darker, rosier color that looks more like normal eye shadow. Put this on as one might for everyday makeup, but make it look more obvious. Blend the color a little above the eyebrow so that it’s visible. Men may not need this; if they do, choose a less rosy color. After color is on, line the eyes with dark brown or a similar color. Black should never be used unless the character is very dramatic and needs wild makeup. Last, mascara is put on the top lashes. Try putting the wand into the actor’s lashes and having him or her blink – this makes errors less likely.
