    Scenery Transport Advice?

    Thank you all for your insight;My concern with something like a cargo van is space. We used a cargo van for the first run and got everything to fit in pretty snug. Since then we've added in 4 more 4'x5' flats and are talking about a sub deck. Plus considerations of eventually travelling with...

    Scenery Transport Advice?

    Hi All, I'm working on a show that's going to be doing an on/off (no consistent schedule) regional tour. Our set is relatively small (All the pieces can fit in an area of 8'x5'x6' when packed right). In all of these scenarios I would be the driver, as well as the production manager on site for...

    1/8" (Macbook Pro) to Mixer (1/4" or XLR?)

    Thank you everyone for the input!Given the fact that we're going to be bouncing around to different venues, and you guys are right that we'll never be entirely sure of what we're walking into (the concept of a console of global phantom power hadn't even crossed my mind), I'm going to go for a...

    Making track quiet

    Making track quiet

    Hi all, this is my first time posting and I looked through the archives but didn't quite find any info relevant to what i'm looking to know. I'm probably giving too much info, but I figure too much is better than too little.Here's the deal. We have a 34' run of track (McMaster-Carr) running...

    Howdy

    Figured I would post so it can stop yelling at me every time I log in. Working in production management in the North East. Just starting out. No formal theatrical education, just learning from doing. This has been a good place for me to lurk in my free time and learn all sorts of random...
