Set Construction

• When cutting materials, the large door from the workshop to the stage must be closed.  This stops sawdust from traveling into the auditorium and curtains.  Sawdust must be removed each night and thoroughly removed on strike day.  There will be no cutting of materials on the stage itself.

• A stage base must be used when constructing a set.  A builder's type of plastic must cover the stage.  Plywood or fiberboard is required for base construction.  When anchoring the base, nails must be driven straight in (no toenailing).  Nails must be no larger than 1 1/2 inches.

• When using a stage base, a 1" kick guard must be attached to the front of the base spanning the entire stage width.  This kick guard should be attached to the stage base and in no way should it be attached to the existing kick guard/front molding strip.  This will prevent sets, ladders, etc., from rolling off the stage.
