Hey guys!
A few weeks ago I was approached by a friend and director to do lighting/electrics for his production of Into the Woods. The only catch was - it'd be in the woods. There is a "nature sanctuary"/conservation center in my area that focuses on preserving the different kind of ecosystems that exist in Florida. So to bring attention to the sanctuary and, as he put it, "highlight the beauty of Florida's wildlife through promotion of eco-tourism," he's producing the Sondheim classic.
The show will be staged in the venue's tiny outdoor "amphitheater" - I use the term amphitheater loosely, as can be seen in attached photos. The benches are going to be moved and a stage extension will be built down the middle to give it an "alley" feel.
I have a $1,000 budget -_-
I'm still in the initial phases of design and am already planning on renting (or, hopefully, borrowing) some LED PARs, and purchasing some 12' trees to safely mount them on - for FOH light. As far as power goes - I have (1x) 20 amp breaker feeding two receptacles outdoors. Once those are used up, I will need to run extension cords to outlets on the outside and inside of the visitor center (~75' - 100' away).
So, at this point, I'm just looking for any ideas that may come to you guys' minds - whether they're show related or just venue related.
