This it is!

Hello all,

I was checking my Timehop app today and noticed that a year ago today I wrote a blog about adding the blood in!:) 

I thought, "hey let us continue the tradition!" Unfortunately, I missed the 'tonight we add blood', instead tonight we add body makeup!:) 

The body makeup processes adds the final touch to the actor in this show. We have our wigs, war paint, costumes, and the various props we use. The only thing misses is (will be) the body makeup. 

The power that we use is made up of - wait I can't tell you that, it is the secert formula of Tecumseh! (I don't know about that, I just don't know the formula.) 

Once we have this power, we apply it to our bodies, minus the face. This process takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes depending on how good you can get it on. 

Our faces we don't use this power becuase it would cause irritation and other gross and boring stuff. Instead we use either a creme stick or a cake of a certain color that matches the power. Then we add the highlight and shadow. 

The final product will be very nice and it almost completes the show! I will get some pictures of me with it on, just so you can see the changes. 

Other final touches we have left include: bringing the battle of 2.8 up to speed, added the receptacles, gun fire, torches to the battle as well! After all of this added in, I don't think we have anything else. 

We open this FRIDAY!! 74 shows of awesomeness! 74 shows of loud booms! 74 shows! That is a lot but it is well worth it!!

Have a fantastic Monday! If you know me well: HAPPY WWDC DAY!!:) I am a huge Apple fan and will have a blog about WWDC tomorrow or the next day! Stay tuned!

Rehearsal Update

First off I have to say updating a blog on an iphone is not a fun experience. 

Today we start the second week of rehearsals. It is crazy to imagine that it has already been one week! On the other hand it feels like it has been months. 

The first week of rehearsals we blocked the full show and did a run of the show on Saturday. We have a show!! We just need to polish it up and it will be killer this year! 

Last week we started working with horses, combat, and props! We add props and some combat to the show. 

This week we are going to add many more layers to the show. We will add the horses, fire, more combat, and torches. By the end of this week, we should have a close to perfect shined show.

I want to say that it will be this week that we will be working on backstage tour stuff! This means HIGHFALL TIME!! If you can't tell, I am super excited to be back at falling. 

Finally we open in 11 days!! It is a strange feeling to being opening in that few of days! 

Look out later this week for another rehearsal update and also a post regarding the many outings  happening this summer!:D
