Albert Einstein said: “Beauty is skin deep, ugly lies the bone. Beauty dies and fades away, but ugly holds its own.”

The Lake Dillon Theatre Company is currently presenting Lindsey Ferrentino’s play
Ugly Lies the Bone. When a newly discharged veteran returns to her native Florida hometown after a disabling third tour in Afghanistan, she discovers that readjusting can be painful and disorienting. Through virtual reality video-game therapy, the play examines the possible restoration of one soldier’s life, relationships and self.

In the time-lapse video above, Moore shows how she takes on the persona of a soldier who has been burned over more than half her body. The prosthetic makeup design is by Todd Debreceni. The process to apply the makeup takes about two hours a day, Moore said.

Ugly Lies the Bone plays through March 18 at the Silverthorne Performing Arts Center, 460 Blue River Parkway, Silverthorne. Information: 970-513-9386 or lakedillontheatre.org
