I see. I was hoping to find a consultant that could oversee rigging and acoustics - and subcontract the work, but what you are saying is that doesn't exist right?

Hi all.Looking for companies that work or can work in the Wilmington NC area. We have two high school theatres (identical) that need extensive rigging repair (electrics and acoustical clouds) and acoustic treatment (facilities were completed with insufficient). Looking for larger companies...

Thanks!

Ron- Thanks for the reply.I should have clarified-- I am looking to build the platforms/support for people to sit on in a "tiered" manner.

Anyone have experience or resources for building a multitiered singing Christmas tree for a choir?

That is a great suggestion for some situations. Our system covers 1000 square miles and there is 20-30 miles in between theatres, so it would be difficult.

Hi all. I really appreciate the suggestions and the energy that has gone on in this discussion. This has been very informative.A little background. I am work for the district (I have 4 titles) one of which is arts facilitator. We have three high school theatres, 2 of which (of the lousy type)...

Hi all. We were gifted several of these rolling stands that say "theatre drop stand", and by all accounts they are for rolling on and off tall drops.... Each one is about 8 feet wide with offset wheels and very hard to tip over....Telescopes to 14 feet or so.Here is the head scratcher-- there...

Thanks for the responses everyone.Flying the speakers wont work in this space for a few reasons. Some physical and some political.I do have a parametric EQ (an old sabine graphiq that we use for feedback elimination). It allows me to also delay. But one big issue with delay and with...

I run into this often. I usually puts legs on 4x8s and attach the walls to the front.

Hi all.Working on 60th set this spring. I have always used simple electric drills to drive the 20lbs of drywall screws that I typically use over the 3-4 week period. It takes a lot of muscle, and now I have severe tendinitis where my biceps meet by elbow.Does anyone have a drill that is easy...

Not really... A $50 i3 is hard to beat. If they ever open it to ARMs that should change....

I'll mention too -if you can get the video into a computer, you can use NDI to distribute via the network. This should be wired, but HX can work with wireless.

Sorry I did make it fairly declarative... I have used Wirecast, OBS and Tricaster -- and have settled on vMix (although I use OBS for supporting productions) So after 120 live broadcasts without one single issue, I am a little partial. I will also say restream.io has been a godsend -- send one...
