Making Ear Rigs
I constructed some ear rigs for Urinetown based on some notes I found at Bright and Loud. The first set of rigs had long boom arms on them which the audience could easily see, so when I had to make a second version for Officer Lockstock in Urinetown, I modified the design to be much more discrete.
You'll need the following supplies to make the rigs:
* 18 gauge wire (available from hardware stores -- used to hang suspended ceiling tracks and repair fences)
* assorted diameters of heat shrinkable tubing
* solder
* flesh-colored Prismacolor or Zig paint markers
* pliers and wire cutters
* heat gun
* soldering iron
I took photos of each step. You can see annotations if you click on the images.
