CMS Grads work on The Pee Wee Herman Show!

Tuesday Corren applies makeup to Jambi!
This past January and early February was a great time for CMS graduates Tuesday Corren (FTV '09) and Marissa Williams (Master '09) as they got to do makeup on the new stage version of The Pee Wee Herman Show @ Club Nokia w/ 3 time Oscar Winner MUA Ve Neill! The two interviewed w/ Ve Neill (Department Head) and Cristina Waltz (Key Makeup Artist) and landed the gig against 14 other MUA's that were up for the job as well. Ve Neill, who worked on the original TV show "Pee Wee's Playhouse," happily created the makeup designs for the show, and left the rest in the hands of our CMS MUA's  (along with two other MUA's) to apply makeup on Jambi, Ms. Yvonne, and other characters like Cowboy Curtis, Mailman Mike, Sergio, King of Cartoons, and Fireman Fineous. As of now, the show is being taken on the road to New York City to make it's debut premiere at The Stephen Sondheim Theatre for 6 weeks! Whether Tuesday and Marissa venture to the Big Apple or not, they both agree that their time in LA with the Playhouse gang was nothing but "FUN!!!"
