theatre make-up courses

Should I take a theater make-up class college level? Want to be makeup artist….?
Currently I am in cosmetology school (about to finish in the spring). When I graduate I really want to become a makeup artist/hairstylist for productions/print/runaway/etc.
My question is, do you think it would be beneficial to take the theater makeup course at the local community college? I would have to cut back my hours at my job and so it would cost me not only the course fee but hours at my job and that is why I need to know if it will be worth it and get some more peoples opinions.
My teacher ( I only have one) knows nothing about makeup and is the one who turned me toward the community college course. She is also a problem within itself that should be saved for another discussion.
I live in Oklahoma as well (not very ripe with the “industry”)
i would go for it!
you’ll learn techniques that you won’t use everyday but it’ll build your resume… not only that, you’ll meet people in the make up biz.
i hope that the makeup teacher at the community college can be more supportive of your goals. OK won’t be the place where dreams in professional makeup usually occur, but i would get the most out of it
