We are working with some architects on a feasibility study for a new theater. We have narrowed it down to building a NetZero building or renovating an old movie theater. Both are quite attractive the build site is off the Main Street about a stones throw with good access to parking, the movie theater is on Main Street and has a parking lot associated with it. I have about 1600 square feet and need to pack all the tools and equipment into that space. The ceiling height is 20', the space is backed up to the long side of a 50x60 black box. Since we are sharing a wall the architects want to know if everything can be set up so we open up the wall and wheel of all the tools and equipment off and use some of that for back stage space for the performance area. Does anyone do this and how does this work out if so?
I also need to come up with a base layout of tools and equipment. What do others have in your shops that you would suggest for a dedicated scene shop? I have been working out of a shop that does millwork and has everything and I do mean everything. I have kind of become custom to having everything at my disposal and need to know what would be the right things for a normal scene shop.
Thanks.
