Do something fun for yourself! Our adult classes are only four weeks long, so anyone can fit one into their schedule! Our teachers are local working actors, directors, and musical directors, and we are thrilled to have them at Asheville Community Theatre. This season, we are offering Workshops and One-Day Intensives. All Workshop classes meet on Saturdays once a week for four weeks at Asheville Community Theatre, located in the heart of downtown Asheville. Workshops are $85 each for four weeks. One-Day Intensives will also meet on Saturdays. These are 4 hour sessions geared towards specific interests. Cost for any One-Day Intensive is $40. 50% of the tuition for each Workshop or Intensive is due as a non-refundable deposit at the time of registration with the remaining balance due on the first day of class. Class size is limited to ensure a high quality of instruction.

One-Day Intensives Descriptions Both male and female actors can use makeup to accentuate the facial characteristics, or to change a face entirely. Often, a role calls for “character” makeup, such as stylized fairies, animals, or a look of old age. Makeup can accomplish all of these looks and many more. In this class, you'll observe demonstrations and practice application of various stage makeup techniques. Saturday, September 22, 2007 - 12:00-4:00 pm - Taught by Ida B.
