Hello
Is anyone on the list familiar or has been involved in a production of Terra Nova by Ted Tally - The story of the race to the south pole between Scott and Amundsen?
Working on ideas how to portray the Antarctic landscape as well as looking for someone that may have access to the sled prop that is needed for this play.
The play will be produced in early 2019.
Any thoughts are welcome.

> I was taught to take a big "bus tub" (plastic tub) and put a few drops of baby shampoo in the bottom, add about 3" of luke-warm water to it and swish with my hand to blend. Take the wig by the front top inside seam - not the hair, but the sturdy part of the seam - and with the hair of the wig on the bottom of the tub, make large, slow figure 8s in the bottom of the tub. Don't wring, twist, or go backwards- keep the hair flowing behind. If the wig has a lot of styling products, it may need to sit for a few minutes before doing the figure 8s. Once it's well washed, dump out the soapy water and repeat the procedure without the soap at least twice more to get all the residue and soap out. Gently lay on a towel to carry so you don't put any pressure on the wig cap.

With the wig head facing you, place the center of the ribbon on the top, front of the lace and pin, Work your way out to the sides with the ribbon placing pins every 1/2 inch or so in a zig-zag (think motorcycles riding staggered) to hold the wig lace in place. Roll onto curlers/set being gentle to keep the lace in place and not break hair. Dry in a wig dryer or air dry.

> Hello All,
> I have a show coming up where we will be using a wig made of human hair that will be getting dirty over the time of the show. Normal use in a hot dry climate in an outdoor theater. So, dust blown on in the wind, sweat and touches of makeup at the edges.
