Hello,
I am new to working in a theater environment (came from large corporate events and traveling shows) and am working with an orchestra shell that was installed in the early 90s. Understandably it is in need of a good tune up. They could use some love on the wood paneling - scrapes here and there which is a minor concern though recommendations are appreciated.
The BIG concern is we have wheels that are completely crumbling and leaving chunks behind when we move the pieces, which is getting difficult in and of itself to do. They sat, non temp controlled, during covid for 2 years prior to reopening the venue (before my time here). Does anyone know where to go to order new wheels, how to go about swapping them safely, and (fingers crossed) if there are people who specifically do this work we could contact and have flown out to come to our venue and ensure everything is done 100% properly?
Additionally - we have a piece of our stage flooring, the last piece prior to the cement slab the shell lives on, that is dipping and flexing as we move the shell in and out of place that sometimes stops us in our tracks due to the flex. I was told the cement beneath it is broken and crumbling but the venue is unsure how to go about fixing that.
Thanks in advance - all help very very much appreciated!
