Hi Everyone,
We're putting on a production of Crime & Punishment at my college, and this is the set design I worked out with the director. That middle door needs to be able to take some impact from actors, and I was thinking stage braces would be the most effective, but because of the elevation I wasn't sure if it would hold properly (if the stage braces aren't high enough on the flat and door they won't provide enough support, but if I make them too long they lost integrity, correct me if I'm wrong). Also I'm hesitant to increase the depth of the platform to accommodate a stage jack due to limitations on space, supplies, labor, etc.
I was hoping someone would have an idea as to how to support the set pieces, I really appreciate the help!
