Hello! This looks like a great site to stumble onto. My daughter started dancing ballet at the age of 6. It didn't take long for the company to discover that dad the mechanic knew which end of a crewdriver to hang on to. She has long since graduated from college and I'm still here now as stage/tech manager.I even get paid seasonally. The first thing I would want to do is thank the great prfessional staff of our Minneapolis and Saint Paul theaters for their invaluable assistance over the years. My new assigned project for the Nutcracker this year is a cannon. As it will be operated by children,and we have no pyrotechnic skills or license,I've been seeking information on something air or CO2 operated that would offer up a fake smoke ball or ring. I don't find anything in my digging larger than paintball gun sizes available commercially. Has anyone built something like ths before? The scene happens right before intermission so spilling small amounts of a powder on the floor can be dealt with for clean-up. Thanks
