    I am directing this show in February and I am interested to find out what others who have directed this show have done about masks/ the dragon needed?  Did you make them? Purchase them?  Any responses would be helpful.  Thanks!

    We did She Kills Monsters last year and had a ball! It's a great play if you do the "adult" version. I think the high school version isn't as good. Qui Nguyen changed the plot for the hs version and the dynamics are all wrong, in my opinion.

    We built our dragon, was given the gelatinous cube by a local university who used my same idea for building it, hired a fight director and purchased high quality plastic sword and spears from Cold Steel. If you need any help with the tech, let me know and I can fill you in on what we did.
