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 is important because of a myriad of reasons. To get rid of flaws that spoils the appearance of actors, makeup is, therefore applied. Dramatic effect can be enhanced with its help, as well, which can convince the attendees that the actor is a different person all together.

The story must also be the one that is loved by the directors. Directors and script writers are to spend most of their days in making a production a successful one. Hence, the selected story must be the one most capable of letting their creative juices endlessly flow.

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.

Directors should also set up a calendar of activities. Delays can never be prevented, and these delays results in having bad feedback from critics and the public. Therefore, directors are to hand out copies of the calendar of activities to every person.

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.

Theatre companies provide art to everyone that impacts the soul. Television and movies are forms of entertainment. However, theatre is a form of art. That is the reason why the theatre will continue to thrive even with the passage of time.
