Yes, you want to look at theatrical flash powder. It can be purchased (for an arm and a leg), or made from scratch if your teacher is comfortable with
handling such sensitive and dangerous mixtures. I believe that search the Google Groups archives of rec.pyrotechnics will provide some theatrical
flash formulas.
Do not under any circumstances try to use peroxyacetone (also known as triacetone triperoxide, TATP, or acetone peroxide, AP). When I was a freshman
in high school a student tried to do that at my school, and he ended up losing a hand. It's far too sensitive and explosive to be used in a play.

littlebigguy06 is wasting server space
Dude, I don't know much about chemistry. I do however know something about theater. And Actual fireworks are definately not needed, maybe some
black cats back stage would be more than adequate. Just do a Home Alome thing with black cats in a pan, and use a strobe light. That would be way
easier than trying to mess with homemade stuff, wich is often dangerout, and not to mention hit or miss on weather it will actually work. And
you're obviously fairly stupid to play with AP. Holy crap is that stuff dangerous. Not to mention MEKP, but that's a different story.
Littlebigguy06, if you read this, get off the site, we don't need idiots like you wasting server space.

Hey
Is that really necessary? Last I checked, there was no mandate in the rules specifying the need for a degree in chemistry to register membership here.
We all share a common interest in chemistry, and that is all that should be expected when someone registers here. Informing someone of their folley
and ill readiness is fine and just, but attacking a person's intelligence and commanding them to leave, as if you were some authority able to
judge a member's worthiness, is so wrong it is not even funny.
Who do you think you are? If this site did not want amateur experimenters with newfound curiosity and limited but growing knowledge, then it would
have much more rigorious admission standards. Do not discourage a young person interested in chemistry, regardless of their reason for interest.

littlebigguy06 I am just curious. Why the hack are you going to use HEs as 'fireworks' in a play?! Secondly, what form of the cellulose
nitrate have you synthesized? If it is the hexanitrocellulose it gives off a big white flash of light when it ignites and is completely unconfined,
but note my words, its not worth it. Could you immagine lighting the 'firework' and then see the place go on fire?
Hope you can. Any way good luck lol
