Storage
+ Creating space to store the Large puppet " Plant 4" and "Plant 3", the size of the puppets required us to use the area behind the dock doors as a storage area. This is frequently done buy hanging a small black ( 3mx4.5m) and masking it off as a small storage area. This has been marked as " Chandler Storage area black" and is located in the blacks store in the Ath.
+ The SL wing was masked off using cut down versions of the Sliders from Magic Flute 2012. These were attached to the red structural pillars by 2 screw eyes located at 1.5m from the floor, through these we attached sash and clove hitched the walls to the pillars.
To attach them to the floor we attached 4 pin hinges at floor level.
Flying in the Chandler
During the Renovation Scene three hanging baskets were flown in, these were evenly spaced to hang in line with the back of the rostra. Each was idividually operated by crew.
We rigged this using 2 pulleys per basket and sash.
The New Opening sign for the end of the Renovation scene was cloth streached over a timber frame - for this we used scrap wood from the scene dock and attached it with staples and spray mount.
For hanging the sign we used sash, screw eyes and pulleys

www.PitlochryFestivalTheatre.com | Pitlochry Festival Theatre had just finished one of their Rep Seasons and had put on Little Shop. They had a gas mask that they had manufactured for their production. We had to put down a £1000.00 deposit in case of damage. When we received it, the designer was not happy with how it look as it had be built very roughly. We carefully removed the bottle that was on the back and replace it with more suitable bottle sprayed silver, repaired some of the existing straps and done some general house work. |
