[NEohioPAL] CORRECTION for OCTA website and Randall A. Enlow workshop posting

[Adrienne Conte Dickson]

Prop Fabrication: How to Build Realistic Props out of Affordable Itemsis one of the many workshops to be presented at the OCTA State Conference on Labor Day weekend.  
 
Join us as Randall A. Enlow, formerly of Northeast Ohio and now Associate Professor of Theatre Arts: Scenic and Lighting Designer, University of the Pacific, Stockton, California conducts this unique and valuable workshop that will teach participants how to create and produce stage quality, actor proof, convincing props out of component items that share inherent shape attributes with the larger, complete objects. Participants are encouraged to bring a picture or description of a period or set prop that cannot be purchased and/or would be cost prohibitive for the theater (maybe even one that will be required in an upcoming production or was needed for a production in the past). Mr Enlow will demonstrate how good research and accompanying drawings or pictures are the best start, followed by a search of available resources, local companies and thrift shops for articles capable of being cannibalized (bought due to an inherent shape attribute within the
 larger object) and repeating this search until all the parts are in place to assemble an acceptable prop fashioned from the collected objects. Most community and even professional theaters don't realize what options may be available to supply an affordable solution. This workshop will provide such a basis and background that we all can benefit from in our efforts to produce affordable, high quality productions. This workshop is sure to fill up so register early!
