Thanks for the ideas. We have ordered Rosco and will sand the floor as a back up plan. Here's to (not) really breaking a leg on a slippery deck.

Help! We are getting ready to do a high school production of Little Mermaid and my Director has "heard" that a Non-slip Bubble solution exists..... any truth to this rumor (she heard it was used in a Broadway production.)

In our last Leadership Meeting with our building principal last week, he actually said "If we only get partial in-person time, then I am thinking programs like ROTC, Choir, DRAMA will control what groups of students are on campus on any given day. English and math classes can meet anytime and...

Have the "People-in-Charge" done their math. My high school considered a drive-in style event, but with only 250 grads it would mean EIGHT HOURS (at the very best) of kids getting out of cars and walking across the stage.... and that didn't even account for a possible prank or two.... still...

Thank you Ethan......It's in the works!

I have been tasked with getting a quote on a truss system that would primarily be used to hold a curtain behind the portable stage during commencement inside the gym. For many years a curtain ( 1/2 of the old main curtain from our theater) was hung from a piece of 1" iron rod suspended from the...

I'm in Belen, New MexicoWe have tried powering a single unit on an isolated outlet. LEDs in the control panel didn't even come on. .....

Greetings We have 32 Elation Opti Tri Pars in our high school theater that are about 5 years old. About 2 months ago one of them stopped responding. The address doesn't light and it gives us an intermittent red single flash of the LEDs. Yesterday (6 DAYS TO CURTAIN) two more started doing...

We roll the sound shell units down into the house, line them up along the apron to mask off the house . They are free standing and are super easy to move.

Right you are Ron. I lost track of where we started the discussion(outdoor stage). I only use them on the stage and gym floor. The football field is sacred ground and no lowely theatre person would ever be allowed to tread there.....much less build.Another thought....we do not have a black...

Just one more opinion here but our district has two sets of portable staging and I use them once or twice a year as part of my set building. Because they're structurally sound it's really easy to take actors up four feet and I've even done six feet off the ground by stacking them. For prom, we...

Show opens first weekend of May. So this may change but the director is currently working with two girls who have dance training and they are wearing/dragging a cloth prototype of the YBR (thanks darrinlweb).... not sure if three will be any pdaint or lights . I will let you know

Wow...just when I thought I had it figured out... more greet ideas. Thanks for sharing.

So there is hope our actors will learn some control as well

Great insights thank you
