    Here's a Puzzler. Best way to keep Ballet/Folklorico dancers from destroying my stage floor?

    You're totally right, and I wish I could. The ballet folkorico group that we have is in district though, and the way we are set up, I am not allowed to charge them. I can bill more to our outside rental groups, for sure, and probably get the ballet folkorico program to help a little, but it's...

    Here's a Puzzler. Best way to keep Ballet/Folklorico dancers from destroying my stage floor?

    I'm looking into it, but I'm only familiar with Marley flooring, not with tap flooring.That, and it may be cost prohibitive for us.

    Here's a Puzzler. Best way to keep Ballet/Folklorico dancers from destroying my stage floor?

    So, before the point to not bring them in gets brought up, I can't. They're a huge part of my school district's fine arts program and are some of the best sellers in our area for tickets and patronage. So saying no is right out.Basically, we're on a three month paint cycle for our stage, but...

    VL2600 thoughts? Looking at Spot vs Profile

    Sorry, should have been more clear. Signify is (or was) the name that the manufacturer of all those brands was going by when I visited over the summer. It was a fairly recent change, but idk if it stuck or not.

    Can I ask what puts you in that particular frame of mind? Their equipment does seem solid... also I guess it’s signify now, which probably only adds to that frustration/confusion...

    VL2600 thoughts? Looking at Spot vs Profile

    Not sure on major differences between the two, which might be more beneficial in a heavy theatre, infrequent concert facility. Also haven't seen anything on anyone playing with these yet.Also looking on thoughts on whether to fill out the rest of my moving light stock (currently running 9...

    Did some searching, no dice: Venue Management software?

    I manage a fairly active PAC within a school district (so small budget). We book outside rentals fairly frequently to supplement our costs, and staff our facility with student workers and professional staff when needed. In an ideal world, the software I'm looking for would do the following...

    Earmount similar to Point Source Embrace Earmount?

    Hey everyone!I was wondering if there was any supplier/manufacturer out there that happens to make an earmount to run lavalier cables through them similar to the point source embrace omni earmount?Those are going to be really useful for turning our tiny lavs into earmount mics, but I...

    Adding Hang position between catwalks - Cheeseboroughs enough?

    Luckily we have a 2 man lift that we can use to hang these. We'll go into rep in that space for as long as I'm here, so once they're set, they're set. Nothing is getting added or removed without me knowing or being in the space to approve it.Man, there is some incredibly valuable knowledge on...

    Adding Hang position between catwalks - Cheeseboroughs enough?

    I have three catwalks in my black box that run parallel to one another. They are fantastic to hang from, but there are no hang positions (grid or otherwise) between the catwalks, which leads to inadequate focus positions. What I'm hoping to do is to run a standard batten pipe across those spans...

    Good PC build for MA onPC and MA 3d?

    Just trying to see if there's anything special needed to get the pre-vis running, or if I can just run something simple with it. If anyone has a setup like this, please let me know. :)

    Any fun custom consoles exist out there?

    That's actually exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for! That's so freaking cool!In terms of coding, I don't have the skill for something like that. I've been thinking about doing something similar with chamsys hardware and other hardware that would make for a more full fledged desk. Can I...

    Any fun custom consoles exist out there?

    I saw awhile back that someone had put together a custom chamsys console, was wondering if there was anything else like that out there. I'm toying with the idea of making one as kind of a joke around project for my classes.Thanks in advance!

    Securing Scenery to a concrete floor?

    We have a concrete floor black box, and in the event I build a large set for it (which is more likely than unlikely), I'd like to be able to secure the scenery in some way. We build primarily from wood, and I've been told I can't drill into the concrete floor. Any thoughts? Scenery wouldn't be...
