Control Booth,
Boy do I have a fun project. When asked by my boss what I needed to successfully run my current show over the long term I said "A TD and a full time Assistant Stage Manager". That was met with an very fast "No, not possible, can't be done, we have a mechanic shop here and staff use them". Well a week later we had a scenic element break and since he was in the space I asked if he would be willing to pitch in to help....
Long story short I now get a full set of tools for my theatre.
Since I am still running shows and trying to make sure I can have the next show (people get sick/injured here quite often so we have to redo 1/3 of the show from time to time) I am having trouble getting a list together.
Here is my question:
Is there a good Tool list online somewhere for a what should be in a theatre?
I know that every space is different and ours is no exception. We are a box truss space, no Fly system though we do have roll drops and Kabuki's, quite a few moving lights, lots of metal/fiber glass props, areial silks, we don't have any wood in the show but I still know I need drill bits and things related to wood work (minus a lathe).
Is there a general list you can send me too? I can always weed out what I don't need.
Thanks yall,
GBTimex
