Costume Designers and Hair & Makeup help actors become their characters.

Whey they're in full costume, hair, and makeup, the actors embody their characters. Their emotions, facial expressions, and actions connect with the audience and draw them in.

Congrats to the amazing Lend Me A Soprano team of Costume Designers and Hair & Makeup:
-Moss (11th): Head Costume Designer
-Emmy (11th): Head of Hair & Makeup and a Costume Designer
-Elios (11th): Costume Designer
-CJ (10th): Costume Designer

Congrats to the Cast & Creative Team on a successful Opening Night!

Pre-show, they finished the set by touching up paint and hanging artwork. The lighting team checked lights and lighting cues one last time.

The Hair & Makeup Team transformed the cast into their characters. Actors donned their costumes, preparing to take the stage.

The concessions and ticket areas were set up to welcome the night's audience members. And some of the Creative Team, including the Director, Courtney, took a moment to clear their heads in the gym.

You all did an amazing job last night! You kept the audience laughing and on the edge of their seats.

Join us in celebrating the Cast of Lend Me A Soprano!

They've put months of effort into their roles, from learning lines to finalizing staging. Their dedication has brought this madcap, screwball comedy to life on The Black Box stage. They'll leave you teary-eyed with laughter.

Congratulations to all of the actors! Break a leg tonight! 💝
