We are doing a production of Oklahoma! and I need to make or buy very cheaply a couple of straw dolls - any ideas?? Also, with some cast member allergic to hay and straw, I'm looking for ideas on how to create fake hay bales. Any advice would be much appreciated - Thanks in advance

That's a good point Logos - 'Flame retardant' props & set pieces, something that rarely happens here. 

Frankly with the warm props problems forget the hay bales, just place a hayrick or whatever painted on a back drop.

Because no matter how the hay is treated, like any hint of smoke on stage, all the coughers flare up.
