“We have great and talented students and having the props to support them and the show is very important,” said Dann Hurlbert, who teaches film studies at Sibley and is directing the musical.

In particular, the show’s crew is seeking a rundown camper or trailer, an elegant park bench and light post, a golf cart, an array of beauty salon accessories and anything pink that could ostensibly belong in a dorm room.

Donations are preferred, but loans can be negotiated. The prop loan period spans two to three weeks in mid-April.
