Be advised that the "loot" currently in use includes several glass statuettes, any of which might be damaged by slugging them around in a sack: will it be possible to switch to less-breakable loot? Could we preset the bag so it's partially full of packaging peanuts or a similar material in order to prevent breakage? (Do we have enough room in the budget for packaging peanuts? [Do we have enough room in the budget for a sack?]) Do we need to provide any additional safety equipment or training in order to deal with broken glass, or are existing provisions adequate?
Is there any chance that the fabric used in the bag will clash with costume, set or wardrobe choices? (Don't forget that the bag will be used both empty and full, and may display different textures or forms depending upon its present state.)
Will the bag be appreciably new, or more stained and aged? If the bag is to be aged, perhaps we could arrange for the artistic director to attend a costume fitting: he seems to
love old bags. He also likes to have his toes sucked, as Stephanie has no doubt learned.
When you say "thief", which actor are we discussing? (Joani, the former thief? Peter, who steals the scene? Or Stephanie, who has been systematically stealing my pencils throughout the rehearsal process, like the no-good, fiancee-stealing strumpet she is? [If it is, in fact, Stephanie, would it perhaps be easier for her to stuff the loot directly into her fat, ugly face?])
NEW NOTE:
Several chorus members have had an allergic reaction to the bodypaints. We'll need to find an alternative substance.
Edit: Drat! And I was so
into it, too!
