With the number of locations the show calls for, I recommend minimalism in the design. I've found that antique stores tend to have a lot of furniture and props that could be representative of this time period. One store local to our school lets us borrow items in exchange for free advertising. Maybe you could have similar luck in your area?

Good Morning,
We are a brand new combined school with a brand new 1200 seat auditorium. We are doing the Great Gatsby November 30 and December 1. Would love any suggestions for props. We have beautiful walls we made, that will be painted but that is all we have at the moment.
