Just go to the local home center, get the cheapest brass chandelier they have and rip out the wiring.

Lisbon is a large enough city that there should be prop rental houses. Try google. As for fake scenery, try rose brand.

There are not a lot of styrofoam props available for sale out there. Most people make their own. You live in a large city, Have you tried contacting any local theaters to see what they have to loan or rent to you? In my city there is a whole network of interesting props available for a slight fee from a variety of educational, community, and professional theaters. There are also several business that specialize in just props and scenery. Make some phone calls to local technical directors and prop shops you may be amazed what you find available for very little or even no money.

Fooled me thoroughly! I bent to grasp it and give it a good tug and I nearly went "***** over teakettle", as my father used to say! The thing LOOKED like three hundred pounds of cast iron but the reality was more like 30-35 lbs of styro. Well, I couldn't let that go without getting a good laugh. Through tech week I'd ask "fresh meat" to move the stove. "Hey George, can I get you to move the stove from there (point) to there (point again)? It's heavy - you'll need to team up with someone, like Fred here - he's new by the way." You can picture the rest. Van, I'd agree that perhaps this example may be the exception rather than the rule, but craftsmanship is an amazing thing and pops up in the weirdest places. As an aside I just acquired a Thompson submachine gun prop constructed completely, and I mean completely, from wood. It's a beautiful thing. From the photos on eBay I could have sworn it was the full metal Model Gun Corporation M1A1 tommy gun. Well, I think you guys have answered Mr. Lisbon, so I'll stop here.

Man!, I was wondering how long it would take for someone to pick up on that ! Just a little "Left Coaster" jab. Just being silly, but at the same time I thinks it's funny that I could find you stuff all over the place, as long as it was west of the Mississippi. I have zero knowledge of resources in the East.
Magnum, I agree there are a few peices I've seen that are real nice. However, most mass produced styro-props are icky. < that's a technical term> :> <Anybody else get the feeling Van is about to open the last show of the season and is seeing a bit of light at the end of the tunnel ? >
