We are in final weeks of rehearsals for Gypsy and director wants actors to throw rice. Of course there are several problems with this so I'm asking if anyone as any alternatives to real rice.
Thanks
I've seen some packing supplies that rapidly dissolve in water. I'm not sure if that would be usable but something down that route would be easy to clean up, just a good wet mop right after the show and another one before the next. This is of course all because I'm assuming cleanup is one of your main reservations to actual rice.
But I don't remember a wedding in Gypsy, so perhaps this is for the Have an eggroll, Mr. Goldstone number, in which case mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, or grits might substitute.
