" Here's the final product.  Chicken wire, an old nightgown, a wig head, a mop for hair, all coated in concrete-like stuff. The artist won an award for artistic achievement at our community theatre awards that year."

"See if you can "buy" one from a local garden center and return it for a refund at the end of the performance... if they won't lend it to you. "

"Hi, Keith, Thanks for the suggestion.  Our budget is (as always) minuscule but their catalog looks interesting. I will keep it in mind if we decide to go that route. Marianne"

Creating the angel fountain for Summer and Smoke

Has anyone produced this show who might have one to rent (we're in the Boston area)? Or thoughts/designs on creating one from foam or other materials?See More
