We did a production in the fall in a large auditorium like yours.  We flew in a flat with a door to represent the wall of the cabin and built a wood frame attached to an 8x12 wagon for the porch.  We put clear plastic sheeting on the sides and a "cut-away" triangle of plastic on top, leaving the front ...

We did the same as Carolyn for our production.  The Natural Light cans we could find have a new "modern" design which we didn't like, so we printed out the traditional label design from an online image, sized it, and taped it onto cans of sparkling water. ------------------------------ Michelle Ludwig ...
