Arts Adventure: Stage Make-Up 101
Ages: 13 - 16
Get ready for fall with a stage make-up workshop inspired by Beetlejuice and The Addams Family! Participants will work alongside TPAC teaching artist Anna Roberson to learn theatrical make-up techniques and create character looks inspired by these delightfully dark productions.
Students will practice applying a look to themselves before working to recreate the designs on someone else, gaining hands-on experience similar to working backstage during a theatrical production. While working on make-up looks both strange and unusual, participants will build their confidence and stage make-up skills!
Arts Adventure: Make-Up & Move
Ages: 11 - 15
We’re kicking off the spooky season with a Make-up and Move workshop inspired by Beetlejuice and The Addams Family. Participants will learn choreography inspired by songs from the musical productions and choose a make-up look of one of the characters in the show. Whether you’re Wednesday, Lurch, Lydia, or Beetlejuice, you’ll have a blast learning fun monster moves.
Discover the magic of theatre in workshops based on the themes from our favorite shows and stories. TPAC’s teaching artists lead fun, interactive activities that will inspire imagination and provide opportunities to develop skills such as dancing and applying stage make-up.

Jersey Boys
The original Broadway sensation returns to the road! Celebrating 20 years - Jersey style!
They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn’t get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story -- a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. The show features all their hits including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Oh What a Night,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Beggin’” and “Working My Way Back to You.”
Go behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the Tony Award®-winning, original Broadway sensation, JERSEY BOYS. From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is the musical that’s too good to be true.
