Judy, One good source for technical aspects of this kind of theater

> Now for news of Tom in Potter (Tom Johnsen). Tom is swamped right now and is
> not on the list (He did tell me to say "Hello" to everyone). He did get his

> of the message I received from him:

>>I hope to make a small, portable theatre which can be set up in a
>>regular sized classroom (furniture would have to be moved, maybe stacked
>>in a corner, or it could become part of the stage.) By making generic
>>sets using fabric as much as possible, we can create forests, rocks,
>>streams, all while a narrator might set up a scene.

> Has anyone out there had any experience with Shadow Plays? This is Tom's
> first project. I sent him what information I found on the Net but have very
> little personal experience. What kinds of lights work best?
> mailto:mdecker@alpha.wcoil.com
> (or to the list) I will forward anything you send to Tom.
