I'm looking for some opinions.I'm researching purchasing the Global Truss Quick Grid system to use for side lighting positions. This would replace the traditional weighted bases using threaded schedule 40. I discovered these when I was filling in for a TD at another venue, and it was a good...

Any time you use dry ice fog on stage you will run the risk of getting condensation on the floor. That is inherent. Your best solution is to minimize the pooling of water that will happen at the source. Plastic dryer hose that you can find at any hardware store would/should fit onto the unit and...

I have been reading your forums and using it to answer questions for years now, but have finally decided to join the community officially. I have spent many years in the entertainment industry as an educator, designer, performer, and technician. Currently I am the Assistant Technical Director...
