PRODUCTION RESOURCES

This new section was added as a place to organize resources that would be useful when working on a theatrical production. It's creation was prompted by a letter I received from a volunteer drama teacher.

 

 Eyeliner Makeup Tips for Beginners

NOTE: This link came from Cindy, one of the theatre students involved in a production of Alice in Wonderland. The groups drama teacher, Rachel, challenged them to find articles containing information useful for a school production. The students then voted and Cindy's article was the one selected to send to us for addition to our website.

To the cast and crew of Alice in Wonderland, located in Albany, New York, break a leg! To their teacher Rachel, thank you!
