Skinning the stage?
Sun, 13 July 2008, 03:00 pmIt may be interesting to find out what your theatre/venue do, about covering the stage floor, either normally or for different productions?
Especially if it is say a polished flooring & the group is not allowed to paint it or even use any staging screws.
We at Phoenix Theatre [Hamilton Hill] have always solved the problem easily each time & painted the deck to suit the production. But for others groups with this problem, your posts & ideas on this topic might help them out!
Ah!.. the memory lingers...
Mon, 14 July 2008, 06:16 pmI remember well the laying of the floor for "Stepping Out" and I STILL thing we should have used something a little thicker than 5mm MDF... perhaps 10 or even 12mm would have been better....(ok... a lot dearer... but Hey! it would not have buckled quite so badly!) and it would have been a weeny bit safer for our delicate wittle flowers to tap on!!...
Agreed, the sheeting worked well, but if we had used the same "flooring" that we had used for the thrust it could still be in use today,.... or at least re-cycled into another form..
