I am not a TD but I have to wear the hat of one :-/ and I need help!
I am "designing" our next show (The Matchmaker) which has four acts, each a different set.
My goal was to use modular set pieces that can be moved in various combinations to allow for variety and maximum use of materials; I was was thinking two sided flats attached to 4 x 8 wagons ... or even 2 x 8 to save material costs - is that safe?? I am not sure about the height and wagon size ratios for safety.
I have a professional space - 50' wide proscenium with a 24' depth (main to back traveler).
I am thinking my flats need to be 10' tall (I have use this height in the past for stationary jacked walls and it seems to be a good height for our space).
Please any suggestions, references, ideas etc would be greatly appreciated!!!!
