How best to hang a person from the ceiling.
He needs to actually fall from the rafters in a straight jacket.

I know that this isn't really a good question, as there are so many variables, but what does a company like Sapsis or Foy charge to come in and provide a service such as flying a person for the show described? Just curious.
This is what I get for working long huge gigs. I had my "safety police" hat on and everybody else already did it for me! Cool!
Guess I'll have to go be crusty somewhere else now.
(P.S. Hire a real rigging/flying company!) There. I feel so much better now.
Not me! I'm on salary!

Oh Sure I get the same if I'm working 60,80,100 hours or 40. but I can also post on controlbooth and not clock out. Wait a minute that doesn't sound nearly as cool as I would like.......![]()
My very first IA gig was the load in for On The Town with Phillis Newman at the Imperial Theater in NY. We did five 16 hour days starting on a Saturday. Sunday started at time and a half for the first 8 and double for the second. Monday was a national holiday. Tuesday was rehearsals and Wednesday rehearsal and evening Preview. I grossed around 2K which was a lot of money in 1971.
BTW, I was on the Props crew and our gear was on the last of the seven semi's, didn't do a thing till Monday night.
