For Barefoot in the Park we needed it to snow across an approximately 12-foot-wide skylight. We had very little headroom left in our black box theater and many HVAC obstacles above the grid. We built and installed a slender, manually-operated drum just above the grid. The goal was to create a moderately heavy snowfall using large artificial flakes.
