Things we do: 1. sell concessions during all shows possible (including chorus concerts) at the Fine Arts Center here 2. sell program ads and shoutouts (similar to those already mentioned on here) 3. sell break-a-leg-a-grams during pre-show, intermission, and even after the show 4. do a 50/50 raffle ...

Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon and Greek Mythology Olympiaganza are both fun shows to do. I have found that sometimes a good name for a play will draw them in just as much as a popular one. I'll see if I can come up with other suggestions as well. ------------------------------ Kind Regards, ...

Dear Esteemed Experts, I need to produce a LOT of fog for a scene and I want it to be a low-lying as possible. I currently have no machine, but would prefer to make one/two from scratch. So...all of that said, a few questions. What do you use to create the fog? Liquid? A made up recipe? If a ...

Do any of you amazing and talented folks happen to know of or have an app and/or a computer program that lets students "clock" in and out? Specifically, I am looking for something that will then give me a report of who was there and when. Right now I am using paper, but I really want to try and go paperless ...

Personally, I definitely prefer this method. I like it because while I have the final say (and everyone understands that), people sometimes see things that I miss. I usually just have everyone stationed in different places in the room or auditorium, which is, in my opinion, less intimidating. Each ...

This does sound like a puzzle. The main play that immediately came to mind was The Diary of Anne Frank. Have you considered having them write a play that is relevant to them? This would be a great way to teach them about current events and the entire playwrighting experience. Alternately, you may want ...

i don't think anyone else holds the rights to the show except them.

Does anyone out there know of a place to set up and sell merchandise for shows.

I'm thinking this could be a good fundraiser, but...??? What ...

I do not know off the top of my head anyone who may have costumes, but honestly this is one of those shows where you could incorporate the whole "found" objects concept and let the kids (and parents) be really creative. Also, I would imagine that you'd have a blast utilizing black lights, neon things, ...
