Theater Makeup Is Vital In Having A Successful Theatre Company

By Jerry Patterson


A successful production is defined on how actors convince the multitude through their acting prowess. The facade of the stage must also suspend the disbelief of the multitude by making them feel like they are living in the place and time when the story is set. However, the aforementioned factors of a successful production are not the only ones in existence. Theater Makeup is also among them. The actor must not only act the part but look the part, as well.

Through makeup, the transformation of an actor into a younger person or an older person is attained. Switching genders is also possible with makeup, and even looking like from a different planet. The makeup does not just convince the attendees, but also convince the actor that the actor truly is the fictional or real character one is playing.

Stage makeup can be used for many purposes. For one, they can hide facial imperfections of the actor for them to look fresh on stage. Another is to provide a deeper impact to the audience by intensifying the dramatic effect of the production to the audience.

However, before even starting the production, the story to be told must be the one the director is interested in. Writers and directors burn the midnight oil just to have success in the play. Thus, the story of which their passion is burning on should be the chosen.

Those are assigned on the designs must painstakingly choose the right theming. The sounds, pros, lights and the outfits of the actors should be successfully planned out. A collaborative effort should be done between those assigned on the designs and the director, for the production to accomplish in making their audience feel like they are being teleported to time in the past or future.

The director should also keep a schedule in the making of the production. Anything can happen during the preparation that might cause delay and may result in unsatisfied customers who have already bought the tickets. One should establish a calendar that should be distributed to everyone that is involved.

The calendar of events must be respected by the director and the staff should have the same conviction, as well. Also, every rehearsal should begin exactly on the time it is planned and end exactly on time. For time not be wasted, every person should maintain focus and must actively participate even during scenes which their parts are not included.

It is also important to choose the right persons for the play. The time and effort spent on finding the right persons for the play is never a waste. However, it is not just about those who are on stage, persons behind the stage should be worthy to trust and have diligence on their tasks.

A play is a form of art that captivates the heart of everyone present. The impact of theatre is must more deep that the impact of movies and television. Due to its unique impact to people, it will never be irrelevant in the years to come.
