Photo Story: The Black Curtain Society: Unveiled

During rehearsals for The Black Curtain Society's first play of 2015, "Theatre of Terror: The Brothers Grimm" Nicolette Pullen tries on her costume and makeup as Phoebe May figures out the fog machine behind the scenes. 
On opening night of "Theatre of Terror: The Brothers Grimm", October 29th  2015, Kaitlynn Pettit applies makeup quickly. The house is going to open in just a few minutes, so every dab has to be just right. 
Nicolette Pullen rests next to Jamie Lee while receiving instructions from Dan Stone at the auditions for "Cat in the Hat" in November 2015. The play requires high levels of energy and physical endurance, and everyone is tired, even though auditions are only half over. 
Dan Stone shows technique to the cast of "Cat in the Hat." The exercise is to build cardiovascular endurance for the play in February 2016. From left: Jamie Lee, Nicolette Pullen, Timothy Cruse, Kristy Speed, Jacob Birchard, Sullivan Macintosh, Dan Stone, Paige Kosa, and Elizabeth Calder. 


During "Cat in the Hat" rehearsals, shoes must be removed by the cast so they will be less likely to kick and hurt one another as well as being able to be more flexible in what they are doing. Because of this, they often practice in the choir room on campus instead of the theatre which has a strict "no bare feet" policy due to constant construction onstage.
