Hi there! I wasn't 110% certain where to post this so I'm going here with this question..
We're looking to replace our stage floor/walls this summer and I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on what type of material was best!
We're a "small" theatre (165 seats), We put on 8 shows a season and the deck gets painted at least once a month - Theres probably half an inch of paint layers between the top surface and the floor plugs (which we no longer use) We very very very rarely have any sort of dancers onstage so..Dance surface isn't a huge concern.
The only two things that are of note (in my mind at least) are the fact that we prefer to screw flats down into the floor for added stability and run braces out to the walls of the theatre - and secure them to the walls.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? I'm not new to the tech side of things (Lights/Sound) but I am new to deck surfaces, wall surfaces etc etc. So any ideas or input would be most appreciated!
Cheers,
