Has anyone done Foley/Footsteps work?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

List:

My wife is "staging an old radio play" . .yeah, makes no sense to me
either.

They're trying to get the look and feel of a radio broadcast session,
with character players shifting between roles before the audience's
eyes, bratty child stars with an entourage . . and a foley man smashing
glass and slamming doors.

Couple things have me stumped:

We need a man jumping into the Genesee river.
Footsteps (literally)--walk shoes on a plank?
Mealtime
Barroom
And anything evocative of heaven.

It's a period piece done in full view of the audience, so "Hit the key
that plays the sample," is pretty much out of the question. 8-)

elsewhere on the web people have spent a lot of time covering Foley studios.
