"Beauty and the Beast" - Small Iron Table for the Rose Jar

Above, the Beast leans over the rose in the Beast's lair for "Disney's Beauty and the Beast". (Click the photo to enlarge it).

Below is a close-up of the table. (Notes: I borrowed the bell jar from a flower shop in town; and I illuminated the rose from below using 2 pin spots; and a crew person under the platform caused the rose petals to drop off one at a time using invisible fishing line).


There are two of these small tables. The table shown is the one I donated to the Triad Sceneshop, so you could rent it from them. But I also have another almost identical iron table here at my theatre, and if you are a local school, I am willing to loan it to you for your production.

Fence Unit with Gate

I used it on the turntable in "Les Miserables" for the love song with Cosette. But you could also use it in "Beauty and the Beast" for the entrance to the Beast's mansion or in any Moliere play.



*A brief clips of this fence can be scene at the 2:20 mark here:

It is dismantled, but most parts are still available from Greensboro Day School. There are 3 French Provincial style columns and 2 black gate pieces. (The remainder of the little wall cut-away elements have been destroyed...and the ivy is not attached any more).

Marquee Lights and/or Chaser Lights

In the photo above you can see my MARQUEE LIGHTS used across the lip of the open pit in our 2003 production of "Hello, Dolly".


In the photo above you can see the same MARQUEE LIGHTS from "Hello, Dolly" around the perimeter of the open orchestra pit in this 2006 musical "Smile!". These are round white bulbs just like on the outdoor marquee of the Carolina Theatre downtown. These rope lights do not chase, but you can flash them on a non-dim circuit or you can dim them.

Also in the above photo, if you look closely, you can see my CHASER LIGHTS around the outer edges of that upstage false proscenium for "Smile!". These are strings of LED rope lights with variable speed chasing controls.

Note: a fee may be required to borrow these lighting effects.
