Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: Actor allergic to wigs

So I'm working on a  production of The Mineola Twins by Paula Vogel which calls for extensive use of wigs (starting with the subtitle of the play) and a lot of costume changes. To make a long story short, with three weeks to go it comes to our attention that the actor playing the lead role has significant allergies to a variety of fabrics and, as it appears to turn out, all the wigs that have been obtained so far. ( These are all synthetic wigs)  Anybody have any ideas? I was thinking of a human hair wig perhaps, but I don't know if this would be allergenic either.

hello everyone,
I see that this is a bit old news now, but I just wanted to share some good information in response. I found this great site for human hair wigs of all sorts: lace
front wigsI hope it is of some use in your work and that the allergies don't cause too much aggravation. What type of production is that, I don't know it?
