Here’s a great how-to video from the Properties Department of The Alliance Theatre, who are making tutorial videos on the vast world of theatrical props. In this first installment, Episode One, Properties Manager/Master, Suzanne Cooper Morris takes you through how to reupholster an ottoman. It’s a great video to use with your classes as we all have to teach online during the COVID-19 shutdown. (Just don’t try this at home on your mom’s favorite couch!
