This is the second CMHS production Katie gets to be a part of and apply makeup for, and she really enjoys being on makeup crew. Katie was on the makeup crew for GUYS AND DOLLS and recently performed as the character Star in the one-act GAME NIGHT (HUMANS ONLY, PLEASE). This is most likely the last performance Katie will be on makeup crew for because she plans on acting or doing tech for the rest of her high school career. Although she really enjoys applying makeup for shows, she wants to experience all aspects of theatre while she still can. She is looking forward to trying new things and developing, exploring, and gaining skills.
