On With the Show!

September 18th, 2009

This is no time for stage-fright! From make-up to costumes to setting the scene, performing on stage can be a lot more complicated than you might think!

During our Zone Investigation we’ll take an in-depth look at the steps taken by youngsters participating in the Bloomington Playwrights Project’s 25th Annual Mini-Plays Contest.

You’ll also get to watch as some of the young participants perform an excerpt from one of this year’s winning plays with Katie in The Zone. A professional make-up expert from Indiana University’s Musical Arts Center will be on hand to share some tips and techniques.

Get ready for some drama!
