The Circus Has Come to Town



With help from the amazing makeup artist, Russell W. Costales, opening night of The vIRTEgo Circus came alive.

Rather than using grease paint, or some other heavy white makeup, director Nannette Deasy came up with a skin friendly alternative, Queen Helene Energizing Avocado & Grapefruit Masque.

When the masque dries, little cracks appear that create an unsettling look for the members of this creepy circus/carnival.




vIRTEgo Circus will plant its stakes on June 15 and again on June 29 at 8:00 pm at Gotham City Improv, 48 West 21st Street, 8th Floor - Buzzer #801, in New York City!
