I am very happy with our Rosco V-hazer.

Looking to rent full set package for The Play That Goes Wrong for Fall 2024 in Alabama. If not the full set, we would be interested in renting someone's rig for the collapsing platform.

oh no!

It wasn't J.R. was it???

And exactly how many of these protesting asshats were planning to attend the damn show in the first place?!?! Makes me sick. Even if your child was involved in the production, you have no opinion on the matter. Refuse to let them participate if you want, and let that be a fight in your own...

Is this even a thing? Having to do another smoking bit....ugh. We've used herbal cigs before but they stink the place up worse than a real one, and for weeks! Has anyone had luck with a brand that doesn't reek as badly????

are you using RC4 products or have you found something less expensive?

Working on a new futuristic play that calls for several props and one costume piece to have LED indicator lights that turn on and off at scripted times throughout the play. I could get away with a simpler actor-controlled setup for one of the props. But ultimately I'd love wireless DMX control...

We love our set of rechargeable stand lights from LOTUS that have a charging base that the lights sit on to juice up.

oh sweet! ETC definitely did not have this page several years ago when we were converting...

We had a hell of a time moving from incandescent house lighting to LED. We knew we had to go with a lime-dimming option for budgetary reasons, but finding a lamp product that worked well with our D20's was not easy. And of course, the dimming manufacturer won't/can't recommend a specific lamp...

Do it again, only cover the walls with video footage of the bombing.... or Putin picking his nose

We did a much-needed software upgrade three years ago to Vectorworks 2019 to awful results. Have had huge issues with latency, crashing, and overall slow and 'sticky' operation. It's driven me nuts. Many folks online seem to have had similar experiences, and even one of VW's reps on the phone...

Hhhmmmmmm that's a tough one. Hard to compete with the sun with any lighting effect unless you're filming/photographing and can edit visual effects in post. If you're designing for live eyeballs maybe think of dramatic lighting angles that contrast more with the ambient light on the dancer...
