Hi! We used cardboard squares, corrugated cardboard, newsprint and a stamp made of hot glue that we rolled paint into. The squares got wrapped in newsprint(folded) and we painted the edges in matching paint. The corrugated stuff was also painted. It's kid of hard to explain. But it did work really well. ...

When my group did the makeup for the MS production we used Wolfe brand water activated makeup. Dries perfectly so nothing gets on hands or costumes, no skin issues at all! Wipes off easily with a makeup or baby wipe! Get good brushes to paint it on. It's literally like painting on the face. Best makeup ...

Hi All! I am having a heck of a time choosing a fall play! I have done Peter and the Starcatcher and a verbatim style (but fiction) play called Zombietown most recently. Both had lots of artistic opportunities, comedy mixed with drama and action. Both were crowd pleasers. I do not know where to go ...

School of Rock was awesome, but the most challenging show I've ever done! Used two sound boards and 40 wireless mics, 20 moving head led lights, and had 3 sets of speakers. Balancing the pit and on stage instruments as tough. There are 22 scene transitions too. That being said... it was also the BEST ...

I use 8x4 sheets of styrofoam and various tools. You can use a dremel tool/hot knife to get the shape and then water and a heat gun and such to get the texture. There are lots of videos online... it's kindof hard to explain how to do it without demonstrating it. I have made bricks, rocks, cinderblocks ...
