COSTUMES and CARNIVAL stuffs

[mudflapgirl72]

Theatre Geeks! I need old fashioned costumes or other costumes for an old-timey photo booth! Please, can I borrow your costumes? Also, I need ideas for an easy/free/inexpensive to make carnival game. GOT IDEAS?

purplesquirrel got any suggestions for me? I have no budget to rent.

If this is for a nonprofit you might be able to convince someone at NorCostCo or Chanhassen to donate the use of the costumes.

That's a great idea!
It's an internal employee fair to promote our diversity and interests groups, but I might be able to charge them a nominal fee for prints and donate that money to a particular charity. Like $5. Maybe I can borrow a smallish photo printer from someone, so I can just print on the spot. Hmm... I only have a large and extra large printer.
Whether or not some of these stodgy banker employees are willing to dress up and have fun with it is an entirely different concern. Hmm....
I already have live music lined up. We are the Creativity & Wellness group. Our booth has to be the best! Ha ha.

Since I have your undivided attention...do you ever teach workshops or dabble in drama therapy type activities? I'm looking for some variety for my workshops.

I don't. You could hire Jill Bernard to lead an improv workshop. Sandbox Theatre does workshops too, I think, as does Carin Bratle.

Oh - and Maren Ward leads workshops too.

Cool. Thank you so much for the ideas and direction!
