On Stage effects

Having just read some intersting comments about theatre in Gosnells I hope that I can get some help from you all.
Acorn Theatre "The Smallest Theatre in the World"(Guiness Book of Records) is getting set to perform Roald Dahl's "The Witches". I would like some technical advice about on stage explosions. They are being used to cover human sized actors turning into mice (actual size).
We have thought about flashes of light and coloured smoke. Any other ideas?
Thanks
Wes

Yeah sorry, I should have mentioned that a pyro does require a licence. I am based in NZ and in requires licences here too as well as minimum safe distances.......I am a licenced pyrotech here but I really can't comment on the suitability of the theatre in this case as I have not seen it.

I hope the show goes well anyway and yeah definately...Heed the warning about safe pyro practice....those things can hurt :)

Take care

Matt
