A Chorus Line

Other props that I had to source were the various dance bags characters would bring in and out of the space whenever they were "cut" from the final chorus. To create these bags I made sure to analyze each character of the production to make sure their bags fit their personality. For example, for the character of Shelia Bryant, I knew she was a bit of a diva so I sourced a sparkly, loud, designer bag with a silk scarf tied to the handle that she would use to tie up her hair after finishing dancing. In addition, I collaborated with director and choreographer Sarah Wilcoxon to decide on other "dance paraphernalia" to add to the bags.
For Missouri State University's production of Edward Kleban's A Chorus Line I worked as the Head Properties Designer under Mentorship from faculty Scene Shop Supervisor, Anna Hunt. I had never been a Properties Designer before this project, so I was eager to do a good job and learn this new area of theatre.
One of the major props that I had to create were the black and white headshots for the iconic ending silhouette in the opening number 'I Hope I Get It'. In addition to the headshots, I was tasked with creating and pinning all of the dance numbers and ensuring they wouldn't damage the costumes and or come off of the actors when they were dancing.
