The trumpets prop for Everybody Praise Now. Our almost life size puppet trumpet was traced onto foam core and then each "trumpet" was carefully cut out with an exacto knife. Several coats of fluorescent paint were then applied with a sponge brush. This is a really good prop for black light where a group of trumpets are needed. We use another prop with black light musical notes that comes out from behind the trumpets. It gives a great illusion of the music floating across the stage.
Black light foam core lettering
This is a fluorescent sign in the making for the song "Everybody Praise Now". Letters were printed off the computer, copied onto white foam core, then cut out with an exacto knife. Finally several coats of Wal Mart "neon blue" craft paint were applied. The letters will be hot glued to black foam core.

Rappin' Ed with the Girls
Black light Ed, Phoebe and Lauren after a wild performance at I-Fest. Ed is a life size puppet that glows fluorescent green, head to toe. Dressed in total black and with hoods over their heads, the puppeteers cannot be seen at all under the black light. Ed did his rapping version of Everybody Praise, Now. The puppeteers and Ed were being swarmed by photographers when this photo was taken after the performance. Ed was made by our dear friend Deb Diehl.
Butterfly
This is one of two butterflys that are being made for the black light dream segment of King Of The Jungle.
