One of our range of cartoon cards |
One
of the fun things (and perhaps also the most awkward from a health
and safety point of view) is that doing this show is like playing
cowboys and indians, with lots of gunplay and dressing up. Depending
on your wardrobe capability you can include full native American
chieftain head dresses, medicine man costumes, squaws and braves etc
as well as cowboys with chaps, buckskins, and six shooters with
gunbelts and holsters.
Gunshot sound effects and sharp shooter
targets, trick knife throwing targets, all things to give your stage
crew nightmares or lots of fun depending on their mindset! How to
shoot the bird from Dolly Tate's hat without being able to actually
shoot it? To make it look real? Or perhaps for her to exit into the
wings in order to react as though it has happened.....how inventive
can you be?
There
are also many opportunites for tricks to be played (a last night
tradition in some companies, and one that can be great fun as long as
they don't interfere with the action or detract from the audience's
enjoyment)
