Mad Monday Make-Up
One of the rules of the stage is that
performers must remove their stage make-up before leaving the theater. If this
is impossible due to time constraints (like running out between matinee and
evening shows), then a pair of large sunglasses should be worn.
Why? Well, if one goes into the street
with the large, exaggerated features of stage make-up it tends to draw
attention – to say the least. It proclaims, “Look at me, I’m an important
performer!” Not good.
You want attention when you are onstage –
not on the street.

“Always remove stage make-up before leaving the
theater.”
