Here's an interesting problem we could use your collective input on: I ran into a woman I know yesterday and she presented me with an interesting question. Seems she has taken over the costumes for a local Bethlehem Walk and is in a little bit of a panic.
A little background - a Bethlehem Walk is scenes from the life of Jesus. This particular one is presented by a group of about 10 country churches here in my little corner of Southeastern Ohio. Many of the churches are lucky if they have a congregation of more than 20 folks. They aren't interested in historical accuracy just general impression - since none of the audience stays in one place for more than a couple minutes as they walk past the setting. Plus the Walk takes place outside in the evenings over Thanksgiving weekend. So it is pretty dark and the players are generally bundled up under all their robes. All that said, the major frustration at the moment is the helmets for the Roman soldiers. Currently they are using baseball batting helmets worn backwards with - get this - red feather boas glued across the top. There is nothing to be done about the helmets - they were donated and there is no money to replace them - but the feathers across the top seem to have molted terribly over the summer. So the question is - Any ideas for cheap, easy to apply replacements for the boas? Any ideas will be greatfully accepted.
