Posted: 11/2/06 at 3:33pmFoam is pretty cheap and you just use an electric knife to cut and shape it and spray paint to color it. That is honestly the best way to do it. Paper Mache or fabric would look pretty bad and be a lot heavier and more difficult to manipulate.

Posted: 11/2/06 at 3:59pmI just sent you instructions for VERY SHOESTRING Audrey II's (plants 1 & 2). If you like them tell me and I can send you instructions for the other two plants.

With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 11/3/06 at 12:16pmMusic Theatre International now rents all four plants at a very fair price. I've seen them in action and they are terrific. You should check it out... possibly a good alternative to building them. The MTI website has pictures and drawings of Audrey II which might be of help if you decide to build them yourself.

Posted: 11/3/06 at 12:38pmWe used two kiddie plastic swimming pools (like a clam shell) for the big plant. ( This time of year just ask around people always want to get rid of them) Covered in inexpensive fabric. The hand puppet is really easy. The medium plant just made out of foam and cardboard. You can use more than one plant operator too. Most of the stuff you can get at Loews or Home Depot.

Posted: 11/3/06 at 12:41pmAlso to piggyback on what StandingO said -- call around to any costume rental shops in your area. When I did the show a few years back I found out that a local costume dealer had their own set of Audrey plants that they rented out to schools and community theatres. It ended up being cheaper than going through MTI since I didn't have to have them shipped to me. I just rented a U-Haul and picked them up myself.
