    Temporary outdoor adhesive?

    So I am producing a show on our outdoor stage and designers really like to build little ground rows that go right against the proscenium walls but I can't screw to the floor or the wall so it always ends up a challenge of trying to drop some wires to hold the flats against the wall or figuring...

    refinishing plank wood flooring

    Bringing in pros is probably the correct answer. I was hoping to give my current staff work as opposed to paying an outside crew but it is what it is.

    refinishing plank wood flooring

    I was using a 40 grit paper on a drum sander rented from home depot. I actually started the project before given the shelter at home, we did two full passes and then had to leave. Of course I rented it for a week and then was only able to do a few hours with it. It's super fun.

    Dry Water Fountain

    Has anyone done this and think it is worth it vs just having a real fountain? The director wants a real fountain, I think doing something like bent acrylic rods would read just as well from 30' while being much easier to deal with on a moving wagon for 3 weeks.

    Dry Water Fountain

    Has any one made a convincing looking decorative water fountain with out any actual water?I am hoping for something like this, with out the sound or risk of water spilling as it's on a moving wagon, also not dragging power cables or complex battery.

    Stage Manager's Report

    One thing that has streamline performance/rehearsal reports in my theatre where I have teens stage managing shows is I use google forms. I set up a form with all of the relevant fields so the kids can just bring it up on their phone at the end of rehearsal and put everything in and hit send...
