Tiffany Dennison and Christopher Russell round out the talents brought to this production. Tiffany created and finalized sketch designs for the makeup of the myriad of characters. She provided YouTube videos of step by step make up application for each character so that each Actor would be able to learn to apply their own makeup for this production. Tiffany has been a proud member of the Freeport Players Guild since age 9, has been an actress and director at various times. She has been involved in make up at the Theatre attending to every Guild production for the past 15 years.
