One of the things theater people like to do at the end of a show besides all the hugging, is to give each other little mementos of the show. On the right, above, is a deck of cards (because half of the play focuses on the poker buddies) that the directors put together with a commemorative cover. And on the left, is the box of Valentine's hugs and kisses that each of the girls in the show got from all the guys in the show. The card (literally!) says To: Mary, From: The Odd Guys.
Husband Styro had a really cool idea, which I would show you, but I think he took his to work! We used retro-shaped coke bottles in the show, bottled in Mexico, and sold at Costco by the case. So we gave each of the cast members one of those, with a tag that read with a line from the show. Also attached was one of these...
...with the actor's name on one side, and their character on the other side, along with the name of the show and the date. It was Husband's idea, and my execution.
Speaking of execution, when I made the tags, I tried very hard to cut the end of my thumb off. Fortunately, I have a very sturdy thumbnail.
There actually is a line on my nail that shows where I brought the blade down on it, rapidly, but it doesn't show up in the photos, so I drew it on for the picture. Then framed the picture in blood red.
You're welcome.
More details about the successful production later in the week, when hopefully my hands are operating more better(er) than they are this morning.
