 George Huitker & Junk Sculpture shows @ Vivaldi's

ACT Singers proudly presents.....Sundays with Gilbert & Sullivan...Trial By Jury and other highlights.

When? Performances - 2pm Sundays 11th & 18th April and 2nd & 9th May

Where? Austrian-Australian Club, Heard Street Mawson

Tickets? $15 each - available from the Club Restaurant (Tuesdays - Sundays 6pm - 9pm) or at the door.

The first half of the performance is comprised of the one-act comic opera, Trial By Jury, the tale of a jury and the public who assemble to hear a case of breach of promise of marriage. Things look bleak indeed for Edwin who pleads in his own defence, to a rather comically unstable Judge, that since nature is constantly changing, it surely is no offence to love this young lady today and love that young lady tomorrow.

The second half of the show is comprised of famous songs and choruses from other G&S shows including HMS Pinafore, Patience, The Mikado, The Gondoliers and The Pirates of Penzance.

Attention guys... this one’s for you!

So you love acting - but don't know where to start when it comes to stage makeup? Don’t know your highlights from your contours? Your paint sticks from your waterproofers? And what is that sponge for, anyways?

If you’ve ever been at least a little confused about any of the above, worry no more! In CADA’s three-hour practical workshop, Makeup for the Male Actor, you’ll be taught by a professional makeup artist, and you’ll come away equipped to do your own make up for your next performance. You’ll learn about:

• Male skincare—what you need to know about your skin  type and how to keep it in good condition
• Choosing and applying makeup for stage and screen
• The effect of lighting on makeup and colour
• Basic character makeup—how to make yourself look older, how to emphasize your features for effect.

PLUS if you enrol by March 10, a free male makeup starter kit is included with the course!
