Accomplishments

  • Hair & Make-up Ilana Coldicott
    '...did an excellent job supporting this large youth cast, ensuring every character was presented clearly and in keeping with the story’s fairytale aesthetic. The variety of looks required—from Ogres to woodland creatures and fairytale misfits—was handled with care and consistency. All performers looked well prepared, with styles that stayed secure throughout the performance and complemented both costume and character. This is no small task with such a young and energetic cast, and the team’s hard work was evident in the polished final result'.
