More ideas from Seussical

<p>The Wickersham brothers torment Horton. In our <a title="Missoula Children's Theatre" href="http://www.mctinc.org/" target="_blank">community theatre</a> production they were not the traditional dark brown/black we associate with monkeys but rather yellow and purple. As the designer wanted the actors to move easily&mdash;they had to swing on rings dropped from the ceiling and do other climbing activities&mdash;she created this costume.&nbsp;&nbsp; She started with a yellow turtleneck and yellow tights. Then made the crop top and bloomers out of purple fur. You also could use sweats as I mention in <em><a title="Purchase The Drama Teacher's Survival Guide" href="https://www.meriwetherpublishing.com/CatalogDetails.aspx?cat=153" target="_blank">The Drama Teacher's Survival Guide</a></em>. However, I don&rsquo;t think they would be as effective as the fake fur.&nbsp; The head would be the hardest item to sew. </p><p>I loved the idea of the wrist and foot bands and the very simple makeup&mdash;just clown white around the mouth. The rest had to be created by the actor with movement and voice. </p><p>The simplicity of this costume would work well for any animal you need to dress.&nbsp; It lets the actor come up with a great variety of movement and allows for super creativity.</p> 9 application/xml false Animal costumes children's theatre community theatre Costuming stage costumes theatre costumes "How-to" costume books from Meriwether Publishing https://www.meriwetherpublishing.com/Catalog.aspx?cat=12 Costume tips and everything else a drama teacher needs to survive a year in the classroom https://www.meriwetherpublishing.com/CatalogDetails.aspx?cat=153 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 ascheck 165.236.224.114 false true false false true 218193 false false true false false false true 203097 blog blogsite/ContemporaryDrama/web
