BASICS OF THEATER SET DESIGN
Thursday, May 22, 6:30 p.m. – Lynnfield Public Library mezzanine
Join us for a special workshop on the basics of set design with Phoebe Roberts.
Roberts is a force of nature in local theater, with experience in stage and film production as well as a delightful acting talent.
She holds a Master of Fine Arts from Lesley University, where she penned the first installment of the Mrs. Hawking series – now a fixture at Arisia, Boston’s sci-fi convention. Her talents don’t stop there; Roberts has also taught at Lesley University and written a 30 Rock-style screenplay entitled Dream Machine.
This program is a part of a series of events leading up to the community performance of Paranormal. A student-led community theater production, on June 14 and 15. Join us for the first (hopefully annual!) student-led community theater production. Tickets will be available soon. For more details about the play, go to friendsoflynnfieldtheater.org.
STAGE MAKE UP WORKSHOP
Wednesday, May 28, 6:30pm – Lynnfield Public Library mezzanine
Alli Thresher has been acting and telling stories since they wea child. She has been working professionally since 2009 on various productions, films, and projects all over New England and is thrilled to share her love of makeup and transformation. In this session, participants will learn the absolute basics for creating a great base to use for theatrical productions and to build on for other characters and projects. We will review how to use light and shadow to exaggerate features and make sure expressions read on camera. Each student will also work on starting their own “process” to work towards a “15 minute face” to help get ready with ease, low stress, and excitement for shows.
