"GREASE" electric marquee sign

For our middle school production of "Grease" a couple years ago, I borrowed an electric sign to hang from the front of the theatre building. I got it from Pete Barr, the director/drama teacher at Rockingham High School in Reidsville, NC.

It is about six feet wide and made of plywood. I repainted it with weatherproof red paint and improved the lighting by replacing the old strings of Christmas twinkle lights with much larger marquee bulbs. You may want to offer him a rental fee for it, (I got it in trade for curtain fabric and such). And you really need to be a local theatre group that can pick the sign up in person...it would be very difficult to ship.
