Clothesline Theater

What a wonderful Idea! I love the fact that you can spend the time together painting the scenery on and then have fun watching/performing the Act!
A great idea for a fun Family day in the Yard!

This simple theater sets the stage for hours of backyard fun. CRAFT MATERIALS:
2 (6-foot) lengths of polypropylene clothesline
3 old sheets
Paint
Clothespins
Dozen 1 1/4-inch binder clips

Time needed: About 2 to 3 Hours
1. String up two parallel lengths of polypropylene clothesline 6 feet apart. Paint scenery on a background sheet, as we've done -- or pin on scenery cut from or painted on craft paper -- then use clothespins to attach the sheet to the line farthest from the audience.

2. For the curtains, suspend two sheets from the front clothesline using 1 1/4-inch binder clips hung at 1-foot intervals. The clothesline should go through the clips' triangular centers, allowing kids to slide the curtains open and closed for dramatic effect.
