[Usittne] Props: Looking for a carpetbag

[Jrlemeritus@aol.com]

hi clyde- I made one  for CLOC many years ago and it has probably  
disappeared since then and is not in the attic. But it is real easy to make with  
two pieces of 1x2 about 18"long and a yard and a half remnant of old heavy  
patterned upholstery/tapestry fabric [I used a rusty rosy red]. Cut off a two  
inch strip to use as a handle later and then simply fold the fabric ends 
over  the 1x2's staple on/ fold wood to wood/ put some stuffing inside/screw 
the two  1x2s together/ stitch or glue the sides up/ use two strips of fabric 
folded over  and staple as handles to the 1x2s. get a handy student to put 
one together and  I'll use it for MUSIC MAN this summer...see you in 6 
weeks.  John

Hi  all,

At Falmouth Academy we're presenting "Around the world in 80 Days"  in 
early May.

At least the play version (as well as the original novel)  does not include 
the balloon or the 
bullfight that Mike Todd added for the  film.

But we do need a carpetbag.  Does anyone have a carpetbag in  their prop 
collection that we can borrow?

We're in Falmouth.  MA.

Thanks

Clyde  Tyndale
