Some examples of VSSSD from my school's production on "In the Heights."

Check out this thread...http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/special-effects/26437-what-would-you-do-rigging-shoe-drop.htmlWe dropped a boot from our "drop-box"...I posted a picture of what we ended up doing. We did not use a solenoid. Just tieline running along the batten to our loft and we...

It's not an unreasonable rule at all...I think what's most important is that you follow through and enforce whatever you decide the rule to be. Also that people are aware of whatever exceptions you decide to make (ie capped beverages, during a very long rehearsal, only something like m&ms/pretzels).

Hi, I just finished my junior year of high school. I am putting together my activity sheet that I will send to colleges with my application. My school's theater is rented out for various events, and I have worked them these past two years (I also help with various school functions that are held...

If you're on a budget some SM58s would be fine, but if the money is there I would say it is worth the investment for PCC floor mics. They will pick up a lot more than an SM58 will. They can also probably used for other events that you have in your facility. We specifically use the PCC160s...

I would also suggest using the PCC floor mics.

Hey, Anyone interested in these lighting fixtures? Clamps not included.Cost: Free, but you would have to come get them. Located in Mineola, NY.PM me if you are interested in them. -Jaclyn

I agree. DO NOT DO THIS. You are right, it isn't safe. It's very dangerous. Look around on the forum and find some threads on this topic for your director to read.

Not sure if anyone has seen or heard about this yet, but hear is the article that talks about how the Brazilian actor died from an accidental hanging...BBC News - Brazil actor playing Judas dies from accidental hanging

Welcome! The forum is definitely a good place to turn to for answers to theater questions and advice. I'm also a high school student and find the forum very helpful.

Welcome to the booth! :)

Out of curiosity what did/are you going about this transformation?
