lol now I'm trying to remember how we did this in college. Once "Twelfth Night" closed its run, the three walls were all leaned in and some other decorations changed and "Night Twelve" premiered. The reimagined work was not well received haha.Anywho, I believe we use static lines to the grid...
Not like its been beaten to death around here, but how often do y'all follow all of the proscribed safety code when working on ladders?Like, are you the kind of person to climb down off the ladder and insist that your employer go out and rent an articulating lift, rather than kinda just...

Ive only been in the trade show realm for a year now, but I've heard some stories about convention center riggers. One of our Senior PM's told me he's shocked every time a show goes up without somebody getting killed by show riggers. I've been onsite for one install and saw a three bleary-eyed...
