Well, technically I'm an actress, but I didn't make the cut for Caesar and Cleopatra, which is okay. Now I get to do props! I'm very excited because this means I get to go out and buy all kinds of fun Egyptian/Greek things, and those are definiely two of my favorite ancient cultures.

Does anyone have any advice or tips or amusing/interesting props stories?

Our prop mistress was nicknamed Flog. Guess why...

Lucky you....but I warn you, props is a pain-in-the-a**-job. Because actors are just like 6 year-olds. "Don't touch" means just the opposite.

When shopping, thrift shows come first. Absolutely first. You save money and can buy more things to make the show spiffy. Next comes anything you can make. Feel free to be creative. Next comes the Costume shops and stores like Ross.

Finally, turn to the internet. But be wary, because it's never as good as it looks online.

Be obnoxiously organized. My last show was the props from hell show, as my director put it. So many letters and envelops and just... ahhhh.

My friend is prop mistress for Grease and my school and her boyfriend is stage managing and she just realized that being prop "mistress" makes her sound like the SMs b***h, which she is anyway, but she's all like 'OMGZ I'M HIS b***h." It's pretty funny.

Well...
Um...
Fight scene in Alice in Wonderland (yes, there is one between knights. XD)
Both swords and the pole broke on opening night. We used better swords and a new pole the next night, and one of the swords broke again... D=

yep. Props is fun. My actors are good about the "no touch" rule, but I have to watch out for the techies. I just tell them that if they touch something without my permission, I'll do something cruel and painful to them. They don't touch anything now...
