Stock Scenery Construction : A Handbook

Plot

This book is all about the basics--flats, platforms, ramps, steps, curtains, drops, paint. Yawn. (It could be worse. It could be one another one of those expensive tomes on scenic design and construction.) If you've never built scenery, this book will show you, in easy-to-follow steps, how to do it right the first time. If you are an experienced "techie" you will want to keep this book handy just in case you forget the answers to questions like: On an inside opening in a flat, what is the correct set back for plywood fasteners?; Should fresh muslin always be used for a dutchman?; What solvent will get dried paint out of a paint brush? The author, Bill Rauol has designed and built hundreds of productions, including Time of Your Life twelve times. This second edition has additional information on drops and hardwall scenery, as well as a new chapter on paint
