Today, in fact in like three hours, I am going to get my haircut. I never would have done it, except the director and producer of the show I'm in right now wanted me to. I have REEALLLLY long hair right now that's basically straight and flat and it's getting cut short and layered. All in the name of the show.
What have you added, removed, colored, cut, etc. in the name of theatre?

The last play I was in I straightned my hair. I also lost weight (but they didn't ask me to. It just made me more confortable in my character). What show are you doing it for?

I haven't done anything too drastic, but last year a guy shaved his head for his role. He actually ended up liking it and he now have a buzz cut ^_^

An actress in a show I was a part of they dyed her hair red... fire engine red and it was sooooo awful. Her hair was naturally brown and the red was not her color at all. I know she hated it. Luckly the costume shop took her somewhere and had it toned down and it looked better and was better for the show.

I've never had to do anything to my hair for a show, but I know a whole lotta guys who have.
I used to be a part of a theatre company called SPA (Summer Performing Arts Co). We did shows in the summer. The shows we would be doing would be announced in about February. One year we did Brigadoon, so all the guys started growing their hair out for it. Afterwards, very few of the guys cut it short again. Yay for all those guys with beautiful shoulder-length hair!
But the next year we did South Pacific. So All the guys had to shave all their hair off. We got a guy who owned a hair styling place to donate his time and talent to come out and do everyone one day. We had a countdown to haircut day. A couple days prior to Haircut day was dubbed Mullet day. A few guys with longer hair decided that since they were gonna have it all shaved off anyway, they'd give themselves mullets. Too bad I didn't have a camera then...

I have had multiple colors for shows: anywhere from brown to platinum blonde to bright pink (and I mean BRIGHT pink.) I went from having shoulder length hair to having inch long hair.
My friend has to cut his hair for our next show. He has shoulder length hair and has to cut it all off. (the really sad part is that he was supposed to be the SM but had to take over a role because that guy dropped the show because of 1 tiny little argument)

I've never asked to do anything. (Except for shave my legs, but that's neither here nor there.)
But I played Essie in You Can't Take it With You, and lost more weight (to go down to a size 1) and dyed my hair black. I mean, I am a ballerina, but I'm one of those ballerinas who's still the fat one in the masters-level classes (size three, thanks). And I have naturally reddish hair, but the guy who played my husband was black, and I didn't want anyone worrying how messed up the kids of the black xylophone player with the afro and the crazed Irish ballerina would be.

Hmm... can't say i've done anything too drastic... but loose my dignity due to a show where I was supposed to be a smart-alec 9-year old (i was about 12). I had to wear all purple, all the time. Including PJs. my "older sister" in the play was the same age I was, so we had to put me in purple cover-all footsie pajamas!!! I was one of the more embarrasing plays of my life... but I got through it.
My friend Ruth, on the other hand, was in the same play, and she had beautiful long brown hair. I loved it, but she had to cut it in order for it to fit under a turban for the play! It went from about mid-back lenght and weighted-down wavy to shoulder length full-out banana curls!

It went from about mid-back lenght and weighted-down wavy to shoulder length full-out banana curls! Here, I made this a bit larger so people could read it. For one play I had to be a 4 year old. Funny, because most of the girls in my drama club were 5'3" or 5'4" and at the time I was 5'6" in baby cloths with a bottle and binky and blanket and all that. It was funny, though, to see them carry me around.

I played The Wicked Witch in a skit called Wiz Kids, basically about a 3rd grade class putting on the Wizard of OZ.
Anybody with sufficient knowledge in the area of makeup knows that the green is a b***h and a half to get off of your face. So my entire face was sprayed green with an airbrush (instead of grease makeup, which would have been sufficiently harder to get rid of) all the way down my neck and on my hands.
I swear, I was finding a green tint in my hairline months afterward.
