Here is my scenario. For my kids school play I need to build a pair of double sided rotating flats - one side a castle and one side forest. What I have on hand is:
1. A stock of 4’x8’ Broadway flats, about 8 in total but I haven’t been to our storage space since before Christmas so I can’t remember exactly. Enough for this anyway.
2. Two 2’x4’ platforms that can be converted to wagons
3. A crew of students and parent volunteers whose construction skills range from fair to middlin’.
The way I see it I have 3 options. I can make traditional periaktoi and leave one side “blank”, I can try to rig my existing flats to the wagons, or I can drop about $100 and build two new double sided Hollywood flats and rig those to the wagons. Each has positives and negatives.
What would you do, Booth? What would you do?!?!?!
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I don’t have a lot of budget, but I do have a lot of time.
