Hi, working on a production of Wizard of Oz and need to make The Tin Man. Trying to find some kind of plastic sheeting to construct the costume with. Any ideas?

I use the Wizard Stick, you can pick them up for about $20 and it's pretty much the same thing as the Dragon Puffer. The only problem there is no way to trigger it remotely. I have rigged one to use with a hose and a syring to trigger is from a couple of feet. It does have a decent fog output...

Looking to add it to my inventory, my old fogger is all fogged out. I really like the LED abilities but not a deal breaker, I can always add LEDs to something. Any suggestions would be great

Hi, Im looking for a new fog machine. Something that has good output relatively quiet and not too big. The next effect I need to use it for is the Wizard of Oz witch appearing scene. I was looking at Chauvet Geyser Jr.Has anyone had any experience with this machine? They also have a full...

Thank you Bill, Do you have a good source for trusses?

I have searched the Pipe and drape and tried to contact a few people with not much luck. Most of what I found was four trade show exhibits. My main concern are the bases. I know screwing to the deck of the stage is not an option with most of our venues. My #1 issue of course is safety, is what I...

Thank you, my biggest concern was with the support, I will look into the Pipe and Base.

Hello all,I am the Technical Director for my local Children's Theater. We have to travel from theater space to theater space for our performances. Some of the spaces we use have no system in place for flying scenery or even using backdrops. I would like to construct something we could use to...

Hi, I am currently working on a production of Oliver. My Director asked me today to incorporate some wire tricks in the Coat of Fagin. I'm assuming this is to do some slight of hand bit with handkerchiefs. Does anyone have information on rigging such a thing. What type of wire would work best to...

I have sewn drops too. The biggest challenge is the weight of the fabric. It helps to have someone to help guide it along. Also a walking foot for your machine makes a world of difference. It's worth the $30 or so to get one, and makes sure your feeding your fabric evenly top and bottom. Another...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am thinking I will go with the muslin. I found some cheap black muslin on Amazon. That being settled I want to do a couple of things. The shape I am going for are the typical Arabian style arches with maybe two or three columns. So the cut outs for the Arabian...

hi, Im working on a production of Aladdin for my school. I would like to have a black cut out (a silhouette) of the sultans palace as a proscenium arch. Sort of if your looking out of the palace windows. I will have a lighted backdrop behind this. Of course my budget is low but Im not sure what...

Hi I am working on a production of Aladdin Jr and would like to use a cyc for the backdrop and be able to change it's color. Like any school theater Im on a low budget but would like to add some new lighting to our existing system. Could anyone tell me what I may need to do this.Thanks Csivlia9

Hi, I am currently doing Snow White and using low fog for the forest. I too am on a small budget. Im using a 1000 watt fogger with a chiller using regular ice, not dry. Also the type of fog juice you use is very important. I'm using 1 Gal - Cryofreeze - Stage and Studio Low Lying Ground Fog...

I searched the archive but did find anything. I'm working on Oliver, and need some torches for the angry mob. I just saw Wicked and their angry mob had some really nice torches. Im on a low school budget so was wondering if anyone had some instructions for making these. I know it's a fan with...
