Participants in Ladies First at the Holland Theatre enjoy preparing for the show in the newly renovated lounge, makeup and dressing rooms in the theatre basement. What was once a rather creepy, rundown place (BELOW) is now a beautiful green room with plenty of lighting and mirrors, comfortable chairs, three bathrooms and even a kitchen area. Nikki Burkhamer applies makeup to Kris MacGillivray Shannan (Eleanor Roosevelt) while Carrie Reynolds (Lady Bird Johnson) waits her turn before Wednesday night’s dress rehearsal of Ladies First. Chris Tillman (Mamie Eisenhower) does some touch-up work. Seats are still available for this weekends’ performances at 7:30 p.m. on Friday or Saturday night. Tickets may be purchased online or at the door. (REHEARSAL PHOTO BY SHARYN KOPF)
