In our upcoming production of Little Shop of Horrors, the florist's is
"closed for rennovation" and the shop goes from looking old and
dilapidated to looking fresh and new. We've thought of putting up false
"cracks" in the walls or fake "peeling paint" that could be taken down right
after the supposed rennovation.

Any thoughts on doing this?

Thanks,

Adrene

I don't know if this will work in your space. There's a set that I helped to paint.  Show opens tomorrow.  To show two different rooms they have a two-sided panel mounted on a turntable of sorts with a pole going up the middle.  Flat is painted on both sides.  Each side different.
