Hello and welcome to the first of our Behind the Scenes series of blog posts. Now that the (fairy) dust has settled it is time to share some of what goes on behind the scenes to bring you a successful production. So first up is MAKE UP!
I am sure you cannot have failed to be absolutely blown away by the fabulous make-up created for the pantomime by Babs Clubb and her team. A lot of preparation went into designing the make up for each character and make up sessions before the performance started at 5 pm in order to have everyone made up by 7.15 pm.

Queen Wendy (Jennie Atkinson)
Make Up by Thea May Groat
Fabulous blending of eye colours and recreating the shape of the face by raising the eyebrows.
Mime Puss (Lois Phillips) and Puss in Boots (Mandy Phillips)
Amazing paintwork to create these wonderful cat looks.

Nobody could have failed to notice the Ogre Grimgrab (Bob Skinley) - make up by Babs,
including a new nose!
This photograph shows the detailed work that goes into the preparation of the design.
Everything laid out for each character - this is the Ogre's - green paint and a nose!
The final result!
And King Wally (Stanley Manson) - just love those eyebrows!
We all thank Babs and her team very much for the wonderful designs and their amazing
artwork and creativity each night.
