The Hell Week Survival Guide
fyeahthespianpeacock: submitted by harryandthebeatles 1. Please god learn to be self-sufficient. This is not a jab at any make up crew, but on average, the makeup crew tends to be the people that just want to have their name on the program. They almost always have no idea what to do and can’t find anything. Learn to apply your own stage makeup. Not only will it save you-and the tech crew-...

A Handy Props Lesson
Today, when browsing through my e-mail, I found a helpful post on making a severed hand for William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus. In his blog post, Eric Hart goes over steps in creating a realistic hand prop using alginate, plaster, brush-on molds and silicone rubber. He goes through the process step-by-step in creating this hand. I found it extremely interesting and very helpful,...

A Description of a Props Master, 1921
The Property Man “Props”— provides, cares for, and places in proper position on the stage all furniture, draperies, lugs, carpets, lamps, telephone, letters, documents, etc. — in fact, all articles needed in the play except the personal properties of the actor. Things only used by a single actor — such as a fan, a cane, an eyeglass, a parasol, a handkerchief, a letter, if it remains with the...

Edible Prop Food
While looking over my e-mails at rehearsal one day (haha whoops…) I found a very helpful article on making edible prop food. Most of the time one has to make inedible prop food for the stage, but what if an actor has to eat it? This article really helps a confused props master if he/she faces allergies and actors with certain diets… Even if you aren’t a props master, I do...

Hi all! I landed in London safe and sound! I went on a walking tour of the city the other day. We got to see some of the sights and act like tourists. I have 3 months to become a Londoner! Here are some of the cool theatres I saw: The National: they do stellar productions. This is where War Horse opened before it moved to Broadway The Marquee for Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Hello My Fellow Thespians!
Rachel here! I just wanted to inform you all that I will be studying theatre in London for 3 months, so I won’t be at the computer as much as I’ll hope to be. I’ll try to update about all the cool theatres in London and all the shows I’ll see plus the show I’ll be working on over there! Thanks for all your reblogs and support! It keeps this blog going!
