I just directed a production of Miracle on 34th Street and had a working see saw built for the park scene. We do not have a place (or really reason) to store it. Looking to find it a new home. It can hold two adults or, as the scene called for, an adult and child. $100 OBO and you are responsible for ...

I created three for our production. I bought upholstery foam (2-3") at the local sewing store and some rougher looking brown fabric. I put a picture of ginger bread man on our smartboard, enlarged it to the size i wanted and place a piece of poster board over the screen and traced the shape on to the ...

RE: How to help students audition for a musical theater performance class

I, too, would be concerned about perhaps asking too much of first time performers with something like that. I mean, the goal of your class is to prepare them to actually participate in a musical, so you are assuming they are inexperienced. Overwhelming first experiences can often turn kids off and that's ...

Centers. Same concept as in elementary classrooms. Will take more planning on your part but would help with keeping students engaged. If you need, have any whole class instruction first. Then divide the class into three groups. One group is doing independent work (perhaps the written portion of your ...

I would echo Crazy for You! Its wonderful and expandable. Has lots of fun group scenes where your chorus really gets a chance to be a part of something. One of the first musicals I ever did with my current program - while it was still finding its feet- and its still held in high regard by our community. ...

RE: Beauty and the Beast head / costume

We also used Heartland - their B and B stuff is SPECTACULAR. We, however, had our beast transform so that he was also the Prince at the end. Makeup wasn't an option for us because we had about 20 seconds to remove all the under-padding from our beast before he had to go back on stage. (We used a beast ...

We have Greased Lightenin' we are looking to find a new home for! The front is an authentic car complete with working head lights. The back has been built out of wood to shorten the car for stage usage. Looks terrific from the front and really pretty good from all angles. Candy apple red. Its in two ...

We did Charlotte's Web as a touring show a couple of years ago and so our set was fairly simplistic. I had painted a large barn on the backdrop and the loft 'window' was black. I then constructed the webs out of white fluffy pipe cleaner (yes pipe cleaner - looks better than you think!). I started with ...

We do a touring show every year. We have a cycle of 4 and reuse them each year. We have done "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" (our favorite touring one), "Stuart Little" (the touring version), "The Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy," and "Charlotte's Web" (also a touring version). Its a great ...
