    I need to make a goat that can be pulled apart. Suggestions on how I can do this?

    When I directed Joseph a few years ago, a student took on this task.  She fashioned a goat leg out of styrofoam (leftover packaging material from something that came into the computer lab).  She painted it appropriately:  black hoof, white leg, red bloody stump (the part that would have been connected to the rest of the body of the goat).   We were hoping to add some woolen texture to it, but we noticed some white feathers lying around from a different project.  A little glue and some mottled feathers worked nicely!    It wasn't the most beautiful thing to look at, but it did the trick.  Our theater only seats 161 so it's rather intimate.  No one complained about the goat leg.  It's such a quick moment, it doesn't need to be perfect.   Good luck!
