Last night blew my mind out of the water. I have seen over 300 different productions. Wicked was my favorite for special and general amazing production. I have seen it 14 times, but Moses from last night became my new all time favorite. I have never seen a production that technical...

There are a few contractors for some of the building modification jobs, but most all manpower is the shop teams, deck crew, Rigging teams and lighting. For a premier show we are down for 2 months. For a remount we can do it in as little as 2-3 weeks.

I am trying to find a lapel pin that is a ghost light. Does anyone know where I could purchase one? I want to make it as a gift for a few friends.

Did you go with us to MI for the USITT Midwest regional event 3-4 years ago? I was the guy driving the van! Theater is a small world. We have started using e 3D printed to scale models of what we want. It makes it much easier so you can look at it from any angle you need. most of the carving...

Amiers, Garrett works in the next office from me. We have been working together on this and he is the one that orders the foam for the sets. Most of the shop crew is use to building up and does not have a strong grasp on carving out. We are trying to help them better their individual skills...

Does anyone know of a good foam carving class near south east PA or possibly online. We have gotten into carving most of our set structures out of billets of EPS foam most of 6' X 4' X 15' it has already saved us extreme amounts of time, but we want to learn better methods, and I want the shop...

I am currently working for S&S as Mechanical/Structural Supervisor. If any one is in the local and wants to come see the place let me know. It is beyond belief and then so much more. There are 5 shops with a couple as large as a foot ball field. We do not waste money, but we do not pinch it...

Does anyone know of a distance learning program for an MFA in Technical Direction or Technical Management? Along that line any one know of a program in Philadelphia or Baltimore. I am looking at moving out that way and have 2 years in on a program here.

You must say no! Unless they are willing to throw the money at it to hire a professional that will insure it you can not take the responsibility for someone's life. If the director throws a stink go to the business office and let the insurance people know about it. They will shut it down for...

I tried a different computer and got the same thing. So I brought the laptop up tot he booth and plugged it into the matrix with a 12' cable. It worked great. I tracked the cable and it goes about 50' to a junction. I plugged in the lap top there and it worked great. I tracked the cord from...

It is just over 100' from the laptop to the matrix. the matrix is a Gefen EXT-VGAAUD-444 4x4 VGA Matrix. I tried putting an amplifier in line and did not get any change in the signal. This is the amplifier we used. Amazon.com: C2G / Cables to Go Trulink VGA Video Extender 1PORT M/f: Electronics...

We have a Projector system with 3 projectors all showing duplicated images form a powered VGA matrix. When I run them from the booth no problem at all, but when I run them from the stage the image shifts about 1/10 to the left. The stage is 100' further away so I thought it was a loss of signal...

I did some Googleing and have come up short. We just upgraded to a new digital system and I am trying to decide if I want to sell this board or keep it for traveling events. so we have a Yamaha A 24/12 That works perfectly and has been very reliable in our gymnatorium. How much is it worth? How...

Now there is an idea! How would I go about connecting that. We will be buying the new digital board this summer but the exact one has not been chosen. What do I need to look for to do something like that?
