    Control/Dimming Children's Museum problems

    My experience with Crestron is its rather "sensitive/ delicate". Every time we have an electrical storm in the area of our conference center, the system gets quiorky, and needs rebooted. That takes 3-5mins. And make sure you have a good knowledge of the coding of the software for your location...

    Fire in Grill (for "Misery" play by Stephen King)

    Just a "singin' to the choir" question here... if your demographic is "mostly NYC transplants/retirees. They are a picky crowd!"How do they expect the arts to survive & not become even more of a class/ economic divide? Without real philanthropic support? How many shows are finding it...

    Which came first - the light plot or the run-through???

    So no one here works with Directors that change blocking??? Yes, FLEXIBILITY is key, and Communication! (did someone say Teamwork?) 😂

    Labor Shortage

    I didn't get into the field thru the college door, but have worked on several campuses & with many grads. Frankly it feels rather unfair and misleading that their programs are not more realistic about working in the industry! Everyone pays their dues by starting in some lower role than they may...

    Running a hazer with smoke alarms in exhaust ducts

    My 2 cents; its also good to communicate with your fire dept, and dispatch, and alarm company, even after thoroughly testing systems. Its real embarrassing & inconvenient to have dancers, scantily clad, out in cold alleys while guys in full turnout gear go room by room before calling "all...

    Powering Moving Set Pieces and Props?

    My 2 cents: We were recently facing similar dilemma for a human-powered parade wagon, with spinning Globe , LED lites, and bubble machine...the plan was inverters/ 12V/ etc. During one of our tests, at home, the power went out in neighborhood & our "battery-backup" started chirping periodically...
