Always I’m going to be the newbie though I’m 64 and I’ve worked extensively in new construction, rehab and repair outside of theater and education.
1. What is
MEWP? We have a Genie lift and a volunteer who is very experienced with its use. We need it often lately because the
curtains are fragile and often handled roughly. Further, the trees
FOH are best accessible via genie, the whole theater is in a state of neglect and I am building a student
stage crew from scratch. Central admin never does anything without being asked three times over the course of several months. When we were out-of-the-blue told first not to use it and then later not to leave evidence of School District complicity in our use of it… I just shrugged and so did the non-employee volunteer. Doing anything in the theater is outside my music teaching job description but kids need to be seen and heard on
stage and that’s that.
Without a lot of acronyms, I’d love to know what school districts do. Parent volunteers (qualified) are all over the lifts in our nearest neighboring district. Is there a special insurance
rider the
stage boosters can pay for?
