There is a 8m x 8m cloth rigged onto a bar at back of the stage. There is a dogleg rigged on the stage right side of the back masking. There are 3 leg masking hung around the stage area.

Petal Drop

Above centre stage, there is a petal drop which occurs during the show. This is comprised of two batons; one fixed, and one movable. Connecting the batons is a drop cloth in which the petals will be stored. The movable baton moves using a pulley system, with parachord as the line.

Sound Department

This show was an interesting one for sound as no sound was to be played during recording. This meant the system was only up for rehearsals.
