Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: Oversized Props

Message

   We're doing Peter Pan in a couple of months and I'm doing some of the special effects.  One of the things I need to do is rig up the large goblet that Tinkerbell drinks to save Peter.  I need to make the glass "drain" on stage.
I know how to do the mechanics to make it work - what I'm asking here is: Does anyone have a good idea on where I can get an over sized (large) goblet or chalice I can rig that will be large enough to be seen (and appreciated) from the back of house?  I want clear plastic or glass so they can see the liquid disappearing (draining).
Thanks for the help.

	Check with a local company that makes trophies and other awards. They might have a large goblet in stock or be willing to make one up special for you.
