Andrew Clovis                Theater Arts

All the world's a stage, - as Andrew skillfully involves students in a hands-on demonstration of theatrical make-up techniques and/or dramtic masks.  A bit of stage history, and exploration of "character" development through stage make-up, and a chance for students to experience firsthand the magic of theater arts.  Presentations can be matched to specific curriculum interests in all grades.

Age level: grades K-6; time: 45 minutes; availability: most days, with ample notice

Andrew Clovis received a B.A. in English Literature and B.A. in Theatre Arts from Marietta College.  His involvement in theatre includes a variety of positions over many years: actor, technician, box office, tour manager, director, writer, publicist, scenic designer, lighting, costume design, make-up, props.  Andrew was interim Head of the Theatre Department at WVUP, where is currently teaches English and Theatre courses.  He runs an after-school drama program in Marietta for the Ely Chapman Educational Foundation.
