looking for dresses and jails
by Bette Lou Higgins 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

We are working on a film about Victoria Woodhull -- first woman to run for president in 1872. Do you know of: 1. a jail (set prop or real place) that would work for our Victoria Woodhull film. She was in jail in 1872 so it needs to look like that era (and not an abandoned old jail from 1872) (or be a reasonable prop piece that can be set up in a room) 2. a dress from that era to borrow/rent for our Victoria If you or anyone you know have any leads, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! Bette Lou Bette Lou Higgins Artistic Director Eden Valley Enterprises www.edenvalleyenterprises.org https://www.facebook.com/EdenValleyEnterprises
