The U-High Thespians-
...were busy this past week with the casting of the winter one acts and a trip to Chicago to learn stage makeup techniques. The one acts are directed by ISU theatre education majors under the supervision of Suzie Thetard. This year there are four thirty-minute plays featuring twenty-two UHS student actors. They are busy rehearsing for their Dec. 4 & 5 performances at Metcalf’s Hayden Auditorium. The shows will be at 7 p.m. and are free with door donations going to WGLT radio. In addition, a group of USH theatre students traveled with Mrs. Thetard to Winnetka on Saturday for a day-long stage makeup class taught by Chicago theatre designer Nan Zabriskie. They learned basic makeup techniques, old age makeup, and scars and bruises. Pictured with age and bruises are back row: Carly McShane, Jenny Mercer, Emily Showers; Front row: Annie Showers and Amanda Nibbelin
