I am doing a production where we are seating audience on our proscenium stage in a thrust configuration and the actors, well act, in between the rows of seats on stage. Needless to say, it causing many issues, the largest of which is getting a nice side angle without blinding the front few rows of audience. I was looking into solutions and stumbled across the City Theatrical egg crate louver. Surprise surprise, I only have about $70 left in my budget which would allow me to buy 1 1/2 of these... Was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to make a handful of these. Fairly flexible in frame size and have a variety of instruments available for use. Looking at making between 12 and 16 and have about 3 weeks before tech. Current plan, spend a lot of time with an x-acto and some blackwrap...
Better ideas?
