Staging

Somedays you forget!

In a past life, I coordinated a number of drama productions.  They ranged from skits to full length productions with flats and blocking, scene changes and full staging.

Tonight I felt back into it!  We needed a small stage area for a drum set in an upcoming concert.  The size was inconsequential.  Here I was once again smelling the wood and putting together a platform.  Old days flood back.  Seeing a stage built four feet high to serve as a "radio station".  Complete staging around a large platform to provide a running area for the actors behind the action.

When you’ve seen what can be done, you seldom stop at merely adequate.

So tonight, for three hours I worked on a small 6′ x 6′ platform that will be solid enough for drums, should absorb the rhythm, and is heavy enough to strain my back. 

But all in all — it will work!!
