Journey through haunted theaters in historic North and South
Carolina! Learn history behind-the-scenes and meet the ghosts
inhabiting the stages. The father of John Wilkes Booth moves
objects at the Dock Street Theater in Charleston, and a ghost at
ImaginOn in Charlotte calls out visitors' names. Discover the
origin of superstitions surrounding the theatrical worldwhy it's
good luck to wish someone to "break a leg," and what a "ghost
light" is really for! From some of the oldest haunted spots in
North America, read about the Lost Colony on North Carolina's Outer
Banks where a disembodied voice whispers for visitors not to be
afraid, and brand-new buildings like the ImaginOn in Charlotte.
These stories are proof that not all the spooky characters and
effects in these theaters appear on the stage.
Costumes are an integral part of any performance, adding
believability, conveying setting, or establishing the tone, a fact
that is no less true when your performer is a puppet! The only book
of its kind, The Well-Dressed Puppet will show you how to create
costumes and accessories tailored specifically for your puppet that
will enhance any performance. Gone are the days of ill-fitting
store-bought clothing that restrict the movement and use of your
puppet. Author Cheralyn Lambeth walks you through every step of the
costume-making process with detailed lists of the necessary
materials, equipment, and patterns required to create a costume
from scratch. She also shares multiple tips and information on how
to modify off-the-rack clothing to fit any puppet. Suitable for
both beginners and more advanced costumers, The Well-Dressed Puppet
demonstrates basic sewing and construction techniques while still
providing advanced projects for customers who have already mastered
those skills.
