Hello All, I have tried searching for this topic in previous posts but have come up empty, so I am starting a new thread. My apologies if this is somehow a duplicate.
I am the TD/ assistant designer/ props master for a small community theatre in Louisville, KY. We are getting ready to mount a production of "The Producers" and I am finding the set quite challenging, especially Max's office with all of the practical doors which are required and the "Swedish Treatment" in Act II. My first thought was a turntable, but that is not working out so much right now and would be a tremendous cost and build for us.
My question, has anyone out there done this show on a small stage? What were your solutions and do you have pictures? Our stage is approximately 28' x 28' with very little wing space.
My second major problem are those darn pigeons. Any suggestions? My internet searches have not turned up very much that is helpful.
Thanks in advance for the input.
