When we have plays/musicals, usdually we will just coordinate with our
orchestra director (he is onstage) and if the set is too much in the way, classes will change rooms enough so that all the music classes (band, orch., and choir) are in classrooms/music rooms, and the theater manager's (also an english and theater teacher) classes are in the theater. Works nicely. Also, we make all of our sets on castors so they will move out of the way as much as possible.
The district "replaced" our
stage last winter because it really badly needed it, but all they did was flip the wood panels in the floor upside down. The panels are not supposed to be flipped upside down, they were manufactured so that one side looks nice and the other like crap. Worst of all, they then proceeded to paint it high gloss black. Then realizing it wouldn't work after painting the entire
stage, they painted right over it with a
flat black. Now since last winter the
flat black paint is wearing away. What should we do?
