Hi everyone,I have a design challenge for our upcoming production of Legally Blonde the Musical and I would love some ideas. We will be using a revolve with a wall down the center to divide it into 2 sections. In the center of the wall we are planning on building a door to allow for...

Thanks for the suggestions. The roscoflamex nf looks like a good fit and the lighting shop I go through is a dealer. I read on the rose brand site that some flame retardants can lose their effectiveness if paint is applied afterward, but when I checked out the flamex it seemed to imply that...

Hi everyone,I recently started a job teaching theater at a high school, and my predecessor left a large box of muslin. I want to use it to construct some flats for our next show, but I can't find any documentation stating if the muslin was fireproofed or not. I'm planning on spraying on some...

Hi Everyone,I'm trying to come up with a system that will allow set pieces to slide on and off stage from the wings along a track. Bascially I'm trying to create a tounge and groove/wing and groove/chariot and pole (I'm not sure of the best term) system, but without tearing up my deck with...

There are all sorts of rules to the budgeting processes, some make sense and some don't, and one is that funds from one year cannot roll over into the next. I can try to request it as a capital expense and see if it gets approved outside of our regular budget, but that gets into its own set of...

I teach tech theater at a high school in the bay area and we have some money left over in our budget from last year. I am looking at purchasing a hazer for our 350 seat proscenium theater, but our budget is only $350 to $700. Does anyone know of a hazer that could do a decent job in that price...
