Upcoming show and I'm just wondering if I should sign up to work it.

Has anyone here done it before? Do you have a prop list/remember the main things needed?

I haven't read the script yet (or even seen the movie version) so I'm not sure what I would be getting in to.

Thanks!

I have done this show. Props are not to bad the vote tally board was the hardest thing to build. everything else is paper and desk type stuff (inkwells and quills) We added the prologue(it is in the movie) so we also built the Liberty bell. I liked the show at first but it can get long. A 2 week 15 show run got to be a bit like history class after a while. Not one of my fave shows but not death either...

We did this show a couple of years ago. Props were not "too" Hard to come by...the costuming is a bear (wigs, authentic clothing), but the show itself is worth doing!
