From "The Hamilton Spectator" - September 9, 2002

Below "History comes to life" clipping...

The text reads:

Hamilton-born Michael Carl O'Neil portrays Canada's first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald at Waterdown's 10th annual Victorian Festival on Saturday. O'Neil, who needs to apply layers and layers of makeup before he achieves the look of a bronze statue, then walks among the crowd bringing the prime minister to life.

Indeed, there are layers of makeup - but it's necessary to get a "statue-like" appearance.

As well, this is another selling point - the performance begins before the show...

the application of makeup attracts crowds and curious spectators as well,

particularly experiencing the art of "before and after"!
