It seems I do a lot of shows with fake foliage in them. Artificial foliage and water, that's been my life for two years now ! hehehe.
First off how long is your run ? If it's typical Highschool, running for a weekend, talk to a local garden supply or tree farm. Both Boxwoods orArborvitaes will hold up very well indoors for a week end or two. If your bound and determined to go with artificial, I can tell you they are very expensive. Here is a linbk to an artificial boxwood hedge. Judging from your description and the specs on this link I'd say $2,250.00 + shipping

Another choice is to manufacture your own boxwood hedge. Here is a link to a place that sells the individual "stems" or Sprays so you could assemble them onto a box or
armature that you manufacture yourself.

At $4.25 a pop, your going to be busy and broke. Check Ebay there are several suppliers of dried and silk flowers that I have ordered from One lady down in Georgia was particular wonderful to deal with.
Another option my be to check with local party decoraters, wedding planners, or Corporate decoraters, All of these people have the potential to supply artificial foliage. Hope that Helps a little. I know when we did Humble Boy last year I spent thousands on fake flowers, nice thing is now I have them in
stock and can rent, sell, use them on a as needed basis. They're a great thing to have in
stock at a
theatre but I believe few realize how expensive they actually are.
