The Postmortem Look

It's been so fun to work on this period piece by Ken Ludwig! The 1920's is one of the most exciting eras to portray!

We've had so much fun getting the look right for this show. Some of our actresses are in the hair and makeup chair for over an hour to achieve the look!

Denise's hair is painstakingly waved, curled and sewn into the style. That's right, sewn! And the effect is great! She looks like she stepped out of a 1920s salon, on her way to meet Mary Pickford for lunch.

Sabine and Laura both don wigs to complete their transformations. Laura's blunt bob and bangs are as 'striking' as her character is, and Sabine's finger-waved salt and pepper wig lends an air of class to her spot-on portrayal of the doting Aunt Lily.

Rachel's hair takes a more relaxed route, as she's playing a free-spirited medium with blindingly good looks, and a penchant for daring little black dresses....

Let's not forget the gentlemen! Sleek hair and beautifully cut suits bring our gentlemen into the 1920s. Cravats, smoking jackets, and a tux with tails... and maybe a disguise or two...

We're on at 7.30pm tonight, 2pm tomorrow, and 7.30pm again from April 24th-April 27th.

Gala Night is here!

Tonight is the night that we've all been waiting for! We opened the show last night to a delightful audience, and now we're primed for one of the most exciting nights of the run, Gala Night!
Stick around after tonight's show for snacks and drinks, and to chat up the cast and crew. A few draw items will be available as well!
We'll be posting pictures of backstage shenanigans as the show goes on tonight. Look out for pics of Gala Night posted here and on Facebook tomorrow! Dress your best tonight... the CPGs paparazzi might catch you in the act of having a little fun!

Getting Closer to Sherlock...

Calm down, we didn't get Benedict Cumberbatch to be in one of our shows, but Postmortem does feature Sherlock Holmes, played by our very own dashing Darcy Ferrier!
We visited rehearsals tonight to get a little closer to the suspenseful thriller, and though we may be forbidden to reveal any details about the plot, we can safely say that Postmortem will be filled with twists, turns, drama and some very fine acting!
Stay tuned! Next week we'll take you behind the scenes as we bravely face tech week in the CCC!
Tickets to Postmortem can be bought by calling 604.391.SHOW.
Postmortem runs April 18th-27th at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre (9201 Corbould Street).
