Hello everyone:
We are about to move into our new facilities, consisting of 3 theatre spaces. All of these spaces were made to be configurable, so we can do thrust, proscenium, or in the round. Seating is on movable risers. We will have to make a stage per show needs. As we are starting our first production we need to plan a stage. How would you all go about making a stage. If we just want a 8’’ stage lets say, is it simply 4x8 wooden platforms with plywood and mansonite. Quick math shows we will need about 60 platforms to make this work. Is it better to frame with metal? My idea is to have a stock of platforms and have different size legs in stock, just 4x4s maybe. Does anyone else have a theatre situation like this? What do you do? Thanks
Steve
