Montana Actors’ Theatre (MAT) is busy this month. Not only will MAT be hosting a Volunteer Fair on Thursday, October 6 at 7:00 p.m. in the MSUN/MAT Theatre on the campus of MSU-Northern, but they are once again offering workshops for youth ages 12-19 at Havre High School.
According to Marketing and Development Director, Andi Daniels, the MAT Volunteer Fair will answer the questions: Have you ever wondered what it takes to make a theatre production happen? Are you interested in getting involved with theatre but don’t know where to start? Several workshops will give participants the tools and training needed for theatre work: lighting design, programming, and operation; sound boards, microphones, and sound effects; the design, location, and construction of props; costume design and construction; and the management of the backstage area and its crew. The Fair begins at 7:00 p.m. at the theater in Cowan Hall.
In other October activities, MAT invites youth ages 12-19 to their Make-up and Prosthetics workshop series. Although these workshops will be held at Havre High on the auditorium’s stage, participants do not need to be Havre Public School students to participate.
Just in time for Halloween, these workshops will take place every Tuesday and Thursday in October from 3:30—5:00 p.m. Marketing materials for the Make-up and Prosthetics workshop promise that participants will come away unrecognizable. “Maybe a new nose, maybe you will age 30 years, maybe you will become a whole new species—let’s get together and find out. Makeup and prosthetics can change anyone into an unrecognizable character. Theatre would not be able to suspend disbelief as well as it does without this amazing art form. This month we will learn all about techniques and processes of applying makeup and facial prosthetics. Create skills that you can take home and continue to hone as you become a master of disguise.”
