Prop Papers
Est. 2011, Chicago, IL
A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Julia Eberhardt, Owner/Creator
I have been creating prop newspapers since the very first professional show I worked on after college in 2006. It was then that I realized how difficult it was to create a prop newspaper, and yet, how valuable it was to know how to create a prop newspaper.
I worked for TimeLine Theatre in Chicago, where the vintage newspaper prop became a running theme. Working with little to no budget, I had to make an audience member sitting 5 feet away truly believe it was real. And I did.
When I found out there were audience members asking where TimeLine got the “authentic” newspapers, I was ecstatic. It made me really believe in what I was creating.
After honing this craft, I started to think there was a good chance others had a similar dilemma with newspaper props and did not have the tools or resources to make them. So, I decided to put up a website, offering prop paper services to those in need.
I have always felt the job of the creating props was usually daunting and often overwhelming. Being able to outsource some of the work could help anyone tasked to create props.
It is my goal to make prop papers accessible to all types of organizations spanning the budget spectrum. I can design, print, and create the paper you need. Fill out any of the appropriate forms or send me an email directly. I am here to fulfill your paper needs!
