"Cats" - Getting Ready


The musical "Cats" takes to the stage next week, and it's a show that's very makeup intensive. In recent weeks the cast members have been designing and learning how to apply the distinctive makeup which transforms their appearance.

There's a photo gallery here showing the performers working on their look (just click on the link on the Photo Galleries page).

The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical will be presented by First Stage Theater Company.

Shows are set for 8 p.m. Thursday-Friday, March 15-16; 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 18; 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, March 22-24; 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 25, at the Jean Carlo Stephenson Auditorium at Huntington City Hall.

Reserved tickets are now on sale. For more information, call (304) 416-KIDS or (304) 525-6132.

As a parent of one of the cast members in this play, I want to say what a positive experience this has been for out son. As usual, First Stage has produced an EXCEPTIONAL play with an unbelievable talented cast. When I look at this group of kids, I cannot believe the talent that is right here in our Tri-state area! Nor can I believe the time that the adults donate to this production and to teaching our children the art of performing. I am honored to be a part of such a wonderful theatre group!
By the way, Chuck does MUCH more than "unlock doors". When there is a show going on, you'll see him around!

Yeah, I'm usually sweeping floors and putting away folding chairs. ;-)
Thanks for the kind comments - and I agree, "Cats" is going to be an exceptional show. This one is a must!
