Otterbein's dark and powerful play opens Halloween weekend

  Otterbein University's Theater Department puts on a musical of dark humor and powerful drama called A Lie in the Mind.  This musical is taking place at Otterbein in the Campus Center Theater, on October 21st- October 30th. The show times are 7:30pm and 8:00pm. A Lie of the Mind - Otterbein University A Lie of the Mind is a really interesting piece of theatre because it somehow manages to tell a dark, twisted story with humor that doesn't discount the grit.  The actors are challenged to keep the energy up for a rather long play that does not have a break in the intensity. Cassie Perlatti talks on behalf of the musical and her role. “For this show, I am credited as "Hair and Makeup Assistant `` and'' Wardrobe Assistant.  I've worked for a few months to design the makeup that the actors wear throughout the show,” says Perlatti.  As Otterbein still faces Covid-19, the theater department still manages to put on a musical for the university. While still following covid-19 protocols, the theater department managed to keep everyone safe and entertained.   “Obviously, masks are a big challenge right now with maintaining the integrity of the makeup.  When I am working on an actor,  they are permitted to be unmasked just for the duration of creating the look,” says Perlatti. “ They must be masked when offstage, so it was a challenge to make sure that their makeup did not smudge underneath.  I was able to find ways to keep the makeup looking fresh and also complete touch ups when needed,” says Perlatti.  As the theater department puts on their last set for A Lie in the Mind on October 30th, Perlatti speaks about her excitement for students to come see the show.  A Lie in the Mind is not your typical musical. The Theater Department out did themselves by pulling in the audience with the radical storyline. “The work that the cast and the design and production teams have put into this is incredible and it is a piece of theatre that will keep you thinking long after you have left the space,” says Perlatti.  “I am most excited to get the audience's reaction to the play.  It is something to see in development but when you add an audience it lights a fire under the actors and creates a completely different show,” says Perlatti.
