Shoes

HONK!  Footwear descriptions
*for any of the “farmyard” scenes, cast will be representing a random farm poultry character (bird, chicken, quail, peacock, duck, etc…)through costume.  Their footwear is the primary cue for the audience to recognize the symbolism.  Therefor… cast will have either orange, yellow, burgundy, brown or black shoes.  Obviously; black and brown options are easy to acquire.  The other colors will be created via spraypaint by our costume committee.  If you are assigned a orange, yellow or burgundy shoe for your farmyard costume, we are asking that you bring in a pair of shoes that can be painted.  An old pair of character shoes, or leather loafer shoe…  whatever is easy!  We’re hoping that you can find these at a Goodwill or in the back of your closet.. we certainly don’t want it to be a big expense.  Canvas shoes will not work as they soak up too much paint.  Please bring your shoe to the parent meeting next week with your childs’ name clearly marked on tape on the bottom of each shoe.  Our committee will spray paint the desired colors.  These shoes will remain in show boxes for the run of the show and be returned to you afterwards.
