TED & COMPANY PROPS LISTS

These are stage pieces we need you to provide for the performance. All items should be in the stage area when Ted & Company arrives. This will leave time to make adjustments, should they be necessary.

All of the items listed become part of what the audience sees in the play; they should have a kind of timeless quality. Therefore, in general, wood is better than metal or plastic. Simple is better than complicated. Sturdy is better than flimsy. Classic is better than modern. Neutral colors (white, black, brown, tan) are best.

For all shows, two six-foot cafeteria-style tables should be placed in the vestibule or back of house for literature, videos, etc.

If the Company is driving, they will bring props with them. These are needed only if they are flying.
