Taking part in a theater production
There are a number of advantages for someone who is interested in theater production and acting to join an amateur theater group. There are so many different ways to get involved and contribute to a production that it doesn’t matter which area you want to focus on, there will be something for you.
Acting and singing
Many amateur companies regularly advertise for people to join who want to focus on acting and singing. Their productions will range from heavy-weight plays to musicals, so no matter what type of acting you enjoy there will be something for you. You will get the opportunity to rehearse with the rest of the cast and there may even be opportunities for you to take part in classes and workshops when there is no production so that you can boost your skills.
Backstage skills
You don’t have to want to be an actor to join a theater group. You can focus on the skills that they will need backstage. This can be anything from handling props to helping to organize, or even make the costumes. Anyone who has sewing or carpentry skills is in big demand by amateur theatre companies because these skills are hard to come by.
Make-up is a big part of a theater production and it is worthwhile attending a workshop or two on how to apply it. Theater make-up is applied a little differently as it needs to stand out, so getting it right is important.
Anyone taking part in productions will understand the importance of skin care after wearing the heavy make up involved. Once the make-up is removed the skin will need a helping hand to rest and recover. One essential is a retinol eye serum which will reduce any puffiness, dark circles and keep the delicate skin around the eye soft as well as working to combat the signs of aging. The retinol eye serum is part of a range of products that are designed to help to achieve younger looking skin and can also protect against the damage that pollution does. A retinol eye serum is so easy to apply and will help to achieve a smoother skin for easier application of theater make up in the future.
It is quite easy to find a theater group near you. Get in touch with the local theaters and ask them which groups regularly put on productions there. They will be happy to provide you with contact details. If you wish to act and sing you may need to go through an initial audition to join, but generally most groups love to welcome new members and may even advertise a couple of times a year to try to attract new talent.
