I don't know where you are from, but if you are interested in purchasing the yellow plastic tablecloth.... they had 6 rolls of it in Worcester, Massachusetts Building 19 yesterday when I was there. It was either $1.00 or #1.50 a yard. Can't beat that!

We had multiple pieces of fabric with a yellow brick design painted on them this also made the illusion of the many paths that dorothy couuld take when she finds the scarecrow

We did Wizard of Oz a few years back & opted out of putting a "road" on stage, as no one in the audience could see it anyway. We did however create a "yellow brick road" ramp up one side of the stairs leading on stage & Dorothy skipped in & out of the audience when she traveled the road. We used the wooden stair frames you can buy at Home Depot or Lowes & plywood to make the ramp, inverting the stair frames to rest on the theater steps. Then painted it yellow with lines for brick.
hope this helps!

We are doing Wizard in the Spring 2009. Has anyone used the tornado that ZFX has available?
Also available at magic shops are the flint sparkers that kids can wear on their fingers and they shoot sparks. We used it in Snow White and it worked great. It has a little button on it that fits in the palm of their hand and when they push it with their finger the sparks fly!
Isn't anyone out there doing Peter Pan????!!! We have a great set/props for rent!!!!

Yes, we did Wizard last year and used three pieces of masonite that had the brick embossing. We cut them into 'S' shapes, painted them yellow, and pieced them together as needed so it ran through various scenes.

If you do go the pyrotechnic route, go to TheatreFX.com. They have flash wands, flash paper and spark ejectors. They are amazing! The spark ejector could be hazardous for young kids but if you had a place for an adult to hide, they could set it off at the right time. Where are you located? I have both from a previous production that we could rent to you if you are near Chicago.
