Will we be learning about best practices for rigging scenery? I'm hoping to come out with some very specific guidelines for our scenic designers who want to fly scenery about how those pieces need to be constructed since I've been asked to fly some pieces that made me really uneasy recently. -- ...

"What Are You Doing?" is always one of my favorites, even though the tradition if I'm playing too is to make me do push-ups. ------------------------------ Penelope Haskew Director of Education San Juan Comunity Theatre Friday Harbor WA ------------------------------

Our middle school show was canceled (along with all sports games and large meetings - big fundraisers).

Perhaps you could trap the petals in a roll of large-hole mesh of some sort that will release them when jostled.  We've used something along these lines for snow. ------------------------------ Penelope Haskew Director of Education San Juan Comunity Theatre Friday Harbor WA ----------------- ...

I have used painted canvas to cover Pergo flooring and it's not actually that bad if you don't need to dance on it.  Use heavy duty carpet tape to keep it down. ------------------------------ Penelope Haskew Youth and Family Program Director San Juan Comunity Theatre Friday Harbor WA ------- ...

We are using this score https://soundcloud.com/betsyalexander/sets/i-never-saw-another-butterfly Although this recording reminds me of Avenue Q with all the dorky adults voices in kids parts and the hyper-vibrato in some of the leads' voices I can't seem to make it to the end of the show without crying, ...

For easy to do but not awful to watch shows BeatbyBeat Press  has a good selection and their backing tracks don't sound cheesy at all.  Another favorite of mine is Law and Order C-rhyme and Pun-ishment from Pioneer which has a really fun story, lots of great characters and the backing tracks are good.  ...
