Full Description


This invaluable guide takes a step-by-step approach to many common theater production practices and covers important issues related to the construction of wooden, fabric, plastic, and metal scenery used in stage plays. "Illustrated Theatre Production Guide" contains a brief history of physical theatres and the development of various forms such as thrust, proscenium, and black box venues. Operation of theatre equipment is covered in detail in the chapters on rigging and curtains. Instructions for operating a fly system and basic stagehand skills such as knot tying and drapery folding, are clearly outlined. The use of metal tubing as a structural element is explored as an alternative to wooden scenery. The chapter on lighting discusses electrical theory as well as the practical aspects of hanging and focusing lights. The final chapter in "Illustrated Theatre Production Guide" is a compilation of many different projects that are easy to approach and to complete, and have practical value for a theatre group. Important building instructions for flats, steps, decking systems, doors, and windows are carefully detailed. It includes special chapters devoted to hardware and shop supplies. It features over 700 hand-drawn, labeled illustrations of tools and techniques.
