Friday Tip

Dear Constant Reader,

Happy Friday!

This week’s tip is a continuation of the one about working with food — about a very specific category of food: milk.

Avoid using actual dairy on stage.

Just stay away from milk. It spoils easily and then it smells bad. It’s really hard to get that odor out of your costume and off your skin. And you don’t want the lingering aroma of spoiled milk to be the reason the venue remembers you.

If you want whipped cream, substitute shaving cream. This works really well for pie fights as well as sexier stuff.

If you’re doing a milk pour, diluted white tempera paint makes a decent substitute.

Both wash off well, but they’re absolutely not edible, so don’t let anyone lick you until after your shower!
