The question about puppet collections and the answers, including references to props and set pieces, reminds me of the query about back drops from the other day. I wonder if the person who was looking for someone to make a backdrop would be interested in making use of one that already exists, and may have been used in a puppet production many years, and perhaps decades, ago. And I wonder, too, if any collection or theatre that has such backdrops either on display or rolled up in storage would be interested in having the piece (or other set pieces) used or rented out to a new show. I ask this because I personally like the idea of keeping theatrical elements in show as long as possible... I have some puppets that are well over a century old which I hope to use in a show sometime this year or next, and even my puppet booth is of a certain vintage, the wooden frame covered with still beautiful blue velvet roundings. So I wonder if any of the collections mentioned might have a program, or consider the possibility, of loaning or renting out backdrops, frames, set pieces, puppets, etc., to other groups for an agreed upon term. Just a thought... it would be interesting to hear what others think.
