This autumn I'm going on tour for the first time with Chamber Theatre Productions out of Boston. I've never really been on tour before, and I've only worked a very few incoming tours before. What I'm looking for is advice on a tool kit for touring the rather small shows this company does. From what I understand, they're using conventional incandescent lights with Leprecon dimmer packs and ETC Express(-ion) consoles. I haven't seen the gear or heard anything else about it, really, than that. (Something about ultimate trees, too...)
What I've come up with so far from both an article in the Spring issue of Protocol and what I know I generally need/want is this:
(Bare essentials from Protocol)
Flashlight (head lamp)
Multitool
Safety glasses
Sharpie marker
Voltage detector (pen type)
Small Philips screw driver
Small flathead screw driver
Ultimate Ratcheting Tool w/ sockets
Electrical tape
Cable ties
--------------------------------------
(My own additions)
Friction tape
Gaff tape
#2 Philips
"Normal" Flathead
Multimeter
Wire tool (stripper, crimper, cutter)
Belt pouch/carrier for most of this stuff
Any suggestions for other personal tools I may want/need?
