Props for scene 2&5


For scene two and scene five.  I made dance tickets and a disco ball.  I made six tickets to hand out for the dance invitations.  I made these out of colored note cards.  I found an image on google to find a picture of people dancing and cut them out to glue them onto the note cards.  I used sharpies to write out "School Dance" and to draw the different colored polka dots. I also made a disco ball for the school dance.  I went to Joann Fabrics and bought a styrofoam ball.  I took a super thin dowel and put a hole through the middle.  I placed string down the hole and tied it at the end so it wouldn't slide out.  I wrapped the styrofoam ball in tin foil then glued big sequence to the out side.  The shiny foil and the sequence makes the disco ball sparkle!

This is the dance tickets and disco ball I made...

Prop Master: Scene Props

We have many scenes in the play Romeo and Juliet, which means we need lots of props.  Some of the scenes are at a party, at school, and a fight scene.  For the party we will need lots of different colored lights and a DJ. For school we will need some of the kids to carry books and backpacks. For the fight scene I would need to create different weapons and fake blood.  You can't have a play without good props.

Why I Chose Prop Master

I really like being creative.  I think that being a prop master would be a lot of fun and I like the fact that it is hands on.  I want the Romeo and Juliet play to be great.  I think that this is possible if we have great props and creative scenes.  I feel so accomplished when something works out really well and i know i was apart of it.  Iam going to have a great time helping put together scenes and creating props for this play.  I want this play to turn out amazing, and with great props and amazing actors, this is possible!
