Two 12m soft legs were also flown just US of the second hard masker, as the fly floors on either side were clearly visible from the stalls. The onstage shackles on these hard maskers were also covered with offcuts of serge to prevent them catching light and drawing the eye.

Technical Stage Management

The set-up of the stage for this year's showcase did not differ greatly from that of years past. Four 1800 x 6000 hard maskers were hung on each side of the stage, with 1200 x 6000 returns on their offstage edge, supported by French bracing. The overhead rig consisted of three gauzes - DS (Bobinette), MS (Square), and US (Shark's Tooth) -, the House Drapes, a front black, a star cloth, and the BP screen. Due to the positioning of the LX booms just offstage, we had to take particular care with the conduit of each cloth - as giving the live flown pieces a full cloth's worth of conduit would have seen them crash into these lighting fixtures as they landed.

Two 12m soft legs were also flown just US of the second hard masker, as the fly floors on either side were clearly visible from the stalls. The onstage shackles on these hard maskers were also covered with offcuts of serge to prevent them catching light and drawing the eye.

Some of the equipment wee had to prep are as follows


Flown Hard Masking 1800 x 6000 Hard Masking Flats 8

7000 Drifts 16

44m Hemp Lines 16

6000 French Braces 6
