Any clue what the poles are made of that the bird kites are flown on during One By One?

It's probably not that different from the poles used for liturgical kites (kites used in worship services). Those are usually fiberglass telescoping poles.

I agree with the wise, beautiful Jordangirl.

Its as simple as PVC pipe. Lightweight, and flexible.

Jordangirl, those sound great. i just struggled this past summer with some "poles as kite ropes" for a show. Is there a source for these telescoping ones you describe? much appreciated....i have never heard of liturgical kites, but i don't attend many services.

We got ours from the site linked to (Friends of the Groom is a Christian drama group). The poles are at the very bottom. They're 10' long when extended and collapse to 60". They're $21.95 plus shipping.

Does anyone know a site for ordering stripper poles? I have a lot of free time.

thanx JORDANGIRL you rock. How inexpensive an item, for a great purpose.

And TREKKIE that's hilarious. i have a friend who designed a production of TRAILER PARK with a fold-out stripper pole, so that brings it all full-circle.

Glad to help TxTwoStep! :) The collapsibility factor really helps with them. Especially for storage.
