I am doing Beauty and the Beast, Jr. with my middle school group this year and we have no budget for costumes. Parens supply and make costumes with my guidance. I would love to see some pictures from those of you who have not rented or bought costumes. That is just not an option for us.

Is there a press release sample for Disneys 101dalmatians kids

Hi, According to the School Editions page, it mentions that Accompaniment CDs are included . However, according to people I know who have used them, cds aren't an option. Can you please clarify? I'm trying to pick shows for high school actors, but my school no longer has an option for piano, and definitely not for orchestra. Thank you!Nicole

We are producing Tarzan in March of 2013 and trying to decide which flying company to go with - does anyone have strong opinions?

I was wondering if anyone who reads these posts, knows where I could find a props list for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. If you yourself has a list, and wouldn't mind sharing with me, that would be great, you could email me at mgatzendorfer@barctheatre.org Thank you so much,Mike G

We just finished performing this show this past weekend, and let me tell you - it was a difficult run. The kids did "okay", but were very upset because of the difficulty of this show. TONS of music and cues. TONS of set changes. Special lighting effect, sounds cues, lots of costumes, difficult staging requirement - and high G abound and can't really be changed or fixed. Just hope you have some high singing sopranos! Just a lot of stuff to do and take care of.BUT the worst part, was the score. It is nearly impossible to play (I don't know who the arranger was - but they obviously *don't* play the piano. A 3rd of it was hard, a 3rd was very hard, and a 3rd of it was impossible to play. Literally impossible because of the writing. Notes out of the reach of your hands and very difficult cross patterns and runs. You would think they would have "dumbed it down" a bit for the general music market, but they didn't - so be prepared to use the CD). Also, many, many mistakes and typo in the actual score. So spend a day going through it with a fine tooth comb to make sure you are doing it right. I had kids in tears on the first show day - and we were *well* prepared. Lovely show, just very, very hard to pull off in the general music market. sigh.

Anyone who has directed Guys and Dolls Jr. or been a part, where have you found the best place to.... place intermission?Thanks

Can anyone offer a suggestion for a VERY vibrant New York Backdrop that they used and loved?Also, any creative ideas to create a great sewer scene? I'm thinking lighting and fog?
