IMPORTANT for MACBETH CAST!

Hey Everyone!
If you are in Macbeth, you will need to purchase YOUR OWN stage makeup kit (for sanitary reasons/convenience) by a brand called Mehron that we usually use...and in the next few days PLEASE!  It's pretty easy:

*Go to Mehron.com
*Type in the product search box "Mini-Pro Student Makeup Kit"
*Click the first product that comes up
*Decide if your complexion is DARK, MEDIUM, FAIR, OLIVE-MEDIUM, OR OLIVE-FAIR (see Amanda G, Toby, or Monique if you aren't sure)
*and BUY THE KIT!

Any other questions, feel free to ask!  Keep in mind that this is MANDATORY for the entire cast of Macbeth!

Thanks :)
The Makeup crew
