Matilda Props?

I'm looking for the Matilda cup trick prop to rent/buy. I found the DIY plan available, but don't have the capacity to build something from scratch. Does anyone have a lead on one I can rent/buy? My googling isn't proving fruitful. Thanks! ------------------------------ Kristi Jacobs-Stanley Louisiana ...

The double-standard is real. I'm here to suggest something I'm doing that is helpful in regards to not having to double up the teaching efforts. My choreographer is teaching all of the dances via videos she's creating and posting to youtube. Then I share the link with the students in that number. We ...

I purchased the Clear Mask brand (the one approved by CDC) to test, and I won't be using them for production. After just 20 minutes in rehearsal the actor had a pool of droplets at the area near the nose/mouth area. It didn't fog, but it was pretty gross to see the water on the mask, and uncomfortable ...

RE: Makeup in Stock and Covid - Now What?

We use little make-up spatulas to put the makeup on individual trays for each student, and have disposable applicators for them to use. The trays I get from the dollar tree are meant to be paint palettes and the spatulas and applicators are on amazon for cheap. I wouldn't toss the make-up personally. ...

Our play is from Playscripts so we had no options we have to use Broadway on Demand. If I could choose I would choose Booktix because that's who my ticketing is already set-up with. ------------------------------ Kristi Jacobs-Stanley Louisiana Co-Chapter Director ----------------------------- ...

So, we're back at school in-person full time, and our fall play will be recorded in person and then streamed out to the audience. (Rights and the streaming platform are secured.) I'm curious what others are doing or would do in this situation? We can choose to either stream at specific times/days ...

On that State's website would be the first place to check. If it isn't posted reaching out to your Chapter Director(s) or other board members. ------------------------------ Kristi Jacobs-Stanley Louisiana Co-Chapter Director ------------------------------

RE: Licensing for Main Stage shows at ITF

Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread

You are responsible for paying the rights. You will get a reimbursement from ITF for some of your costs associated with bringing the show, and they should give you all of that information in a packet via email. I think the waiving of fees depends on the publisher. When we brought a Dramatists show I ...

We travel from Louisiana and use Hotard Charter bus. We have a 15-hour drive, and we leave on Sunday late afternoon around 4 p.m. This way we are able to sleep through most of the drive. We usually wake up in Kansas City for breakfast and then only have a few hours to arrive in Lincoln. It will be a ...

For the first time I have several students who want to represent our troupe as the Student Thespian Officers at our State Festival. I'm holding interviews with the potential candidates. What questions would you ask in such an interview? I plan to ask: 1. What do you think it means to be a STO ...

My favorite activity to introduce blocking is human tic tac toe! I use painters tape to make a large tic tac toe board on the stage. Then split the class into teams. Each team picks a captain and they come to the POV of the director. They have to use stage directions to tell their teammates where to ...

I understand that list to be publishers that have given permission for their plays to be used as part of IEs without the director receiving individual performing rights for the selections. So you could use a piece from one of the publishers you've mentioned but you would need to get permission from the ...
