COOOOOOORRRRRRN.

For our show  "The Very Merry Wives of Windsor, Iowa" we needed over 200 stalks of corn.  

One of our master carpenters, Tasia came up with the great idea of using bubble wrap for the corn itself.  Masking tape over wire made the leaves, PVC the stalk itself, and nylon thread served as the "hair."
Roxanne shows just how realistic our fake corn is.

  Each ear was hand glued and painted.  Each Leaf was taped and cut individually.  We never could have made all the corn without the awesome help of our loyal volunteers.  Next, each leaf had to be painted individually. 

And here we have the finished product.  A whole field of corn right in our paint shop.  

Can you find the Geno in this picture?
