What was a cutpurse and what happens to them at the theater?
A cut-purse is a thief. The modern day name would be a pick-pocket. They were called cut-purses because in the days when people carried their money in a bag (a purse) hung off their belts, the thieves would steell them by cutting the cord attaching the purse to the belt. Theatres were goo places for cut-purses to operate because they were crowded (people stood rather then sat) and peoples attention was focused on the stage/actors rather than their purses.

What was a typical theater going experience like at Globe Theatre?
its quite alright there is a nice but expensive gift shop and the theatre its self is quite nice u can stand right by the stage or sit up high if the show is at noon then the sun comes straight down to illuminate the whole stage. That's if you are talking about the current version. In the original one, it was noisy, with vendors touting their wares, the equivalent of popcorn in movie theatres. It was very very smelly, one of the reasons that oranges stuck all over with cloves were sold. It was dangerous, as there were pickpockets all over, people who cut your purse in the wink of an eye, and sometimes more than your purse. And very exciting. People continually talked, yelled their opinions, or just to get a friend's attention..so that if the playright was able to get silence for some minutes from the audience, they had achieved a major testament to the strength of their work and the actors' performances.
How do you cut the top of your pointe shoes off?
Cutting off the fabric on the end of your box? You just cut it. Cut all around the end since the fabric will fall off anyways. I do that. Don't use a knife though.

It used to be based on the winnner receiving 18% of the total purse, then a sliding scale down from there for the remainder of the field that made the cut. Might still be that way, not sure in these days of multi-million dollar purses!
How do you make a recycled candy wrapper purse?
There are many different ways to go about doing this. One way is to glue individual wrappers together and form a purse shape. Another way is to cut apart the wrappers and weave them together to form a purse. When I was younger I made purses from wrappers taped together, but these were not very sturdy and did not look as neat as the above two options.
