I would be glad to e-mail them to you if you would like.

 

I realize now that I never included photos of the carriage! I may still have other photos out there somewhere - nope.

 

It may take me a little while, but I will post more to http://members.aol.com/bmiller025/Cindy/Cinderella.htm asap.

 

 

Last fall I was asked to step in and take over the tech for a production of Cinderella. Needless to say everything was  done on the fly. They were three weeks from opening without a set, costumes, lights, props, nothing! There was almost no money in the budget.  I called a friend who does murals. She did the fabulous mural on the back wall in 8 working hours; five one day, three the next.  The stairs were three that were in stock from Sound of Music, Arsenic & Old Lace and some other show. We painted them all the same color and it worked. My carpenter and I pulled everything from the set room that we thought might work, called a crew and screwed flats and platforms together until we ran out of material. The local lumber yard donated $200 worth of strapping and 2x4s, so we had support materials. I only bought one can of paint. The rest was what we had in stock and mixed it together with the help of two other artists who did all of the faux finishing. My brilliant costumer did what she called gorilla costuming and got everyone into appropriate costumes by raiding not only her costumes, but the theater's, mine and another theater's. (Ignore the fairy godmother's costume. She made it herself. That is whole drama by itself.) I called the best prop person and set dresser I know and with them everything was ready by opening night . . . barely. Anyway these are a few of the pictures. http://www.flickr.com/photos/zillart/sets/72157594400734483/

PS: I forgot to mention. They wanted the whole thing done with a Christmas theme, because the show opened the first week of December.
