Hello!
Next year, the high school is doing an alternative/punk version of Alice in Wonderland for our state's one-act festival in the spring. I need to build a tree that a teenage actor (Cheshire Cat) could sit in that looks pretty realistic. It also needs a door at the bottom of the trunk for actors to crawl through. This tree would be stationary on stage, but it needs to be transported to the festival (maybe multiple festivals, if we win at regionals). Therefore it would need to fit through normal doorways. So it can be in pieces, but ones that are easy to construct. (I must be nuts.) Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I really liked the melted clock and the chessboard ramps. I can see why your group won Best Set. ^_^
