Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / PROPS: Spray Paint on Stage
« on: May 05, 2011, 01:06 am »
Hey all.
Okay, so I'm working on a show being produced in a very small blackbox theater. The script requires that a group of five male actors run up to a wall with spray paint cans, and do some graffiti. I would have no problem with giving the actors actual spray paint cans to do the graffiti, but the problem is that the theater is so small that five cans of spray paint going off at once might make it a bit difficult for the audience to breathe. It would definitely not be very healthy for the audience members to be breathing in all of those fumes. Does anybody have any solution? Is there such a thing as fume-less spray paint?!
