I need 3 projectors for a show in Feb. I am looking for a place to rent those projectors from in New England. Any recommendations?

Boxes would be a more accurate term; we have been calling them steps because we step on them. The show is Oliver, there will be children and adult on them and dancing. The step/box will need to be carried by a child on and off stage as there is literally no backstage or wing space. There are 6...

I need steps that are light to pick up. The wooden steps are very heavy (60 LBS). The steps are 2' x 2'x 3' and 2 x 2 x 4. I want to make them from foam that is rugged enough to stand on and not crunch. I have never worked with foam before. Is there a way to cut it so it can be all uniform in...

The board is an ETC Color source 40 I have 2 of them. One that belongs to the theater that is cat 5 cord and dmx and one that belongs to the theater group that is dmx only and we have an adapter to tie into the cat 5. At every other termination there is a 5 pin dmx socket that the leds are...

The theater I work in installed a new led system this past year. The installers added a DMX Net to 2 of the light bars above the house. I have in the past months used a dmx cord to run to those 2 bars. I would rather just run from the DMX net terminals; I want to make sure that the terminals...

I have watched the lighting guy we hired for the show this weekend. The theater we rent has just changed to all led and a digital lighting board. I have done conventional lighting for 45 years but have been to busy to learn anything LED or digital board type stuff in the past 4 years that we...

Hi, I am in Northern New Hampshire. I need to rent 7) 2 way radios with head sets. The vendor I have rented them from sold off his radios last year and I am not sure where to get them. If anyone can suggest somewhere to rent I would apricate it. Thank you.

I am considering a Tension Wire Grid system for a new black box theater. I would like to see one. If anyone has one that I (and perhaps a few others) can look at in New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine or Northern Mass. I sure would like to hear from you and if possible tour yours. Thanks.

We are working with some architects on a feasibility study for a new theater. We have narrowed it down to building a NetZero building or renovating an old movie theater. Both are quite attractive the build site is off the Main Street about a stones throw with good access to parking, the movie...

I need to put up an old curtain track. It was put in originally in 1941 before Bette Davis came to town and celebrated the 31st birthday. These are 1/2" x 1/2" 3/4" and have a hole for the cord to go into and a screw to secure the cord in place. I have called a few places and every body went...

As the title says I am looking for lighting rental outlets in New England. I use one now but I need other options. Thanks!

I used a face mask shield, a couple of boat bumpers, some tubing and a couple of fitting. Hot glued those things together and had it.

We are building some foam stone walls. I want to permanently adhere the foam to the plywood, any suggestion for an adhesive. I have a couple of buckets of cove base adhesive and was thinking of that but would like to know what others use. Thanks

We are adding a water fountain. I have selected one with a bottle filler. We will be placing it at the height of ADA standards. It is a little lower than regular height. Most of the time the bottle filler will be the only thing used and we did not want to put in 2 fountains (1 for regular and 1...

I am setting up my scene shop in a new location. I have been using some old blades on the chop, bench & skill saws. I thought that as long as I was setting up some place new i would the old blades. Any recommendations for blades?
