First Time Projection

[StageManagerAW]

Hey ControlBoothers! I need some help. This Spring, my highschool is doing Hairspray and we have decided to try utilizing projection as opposed to signs (Motormouth Mabels, Corney Collins, Mr.Pinky's,etc..) My questions are what equipment do we need to does this AND how do we set it up. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Don't over-think it. Sometimes an old fashioned overhead projector with transparencies will give you a huge image at a short throw!
Other times, video projectors will work well or goboes. Sometimes rear projection, sometimes front. Just depends on space, what you have available, budget, and what you are trying to achieve.
