    I am considering working with the company Scenographics for our set design for High School Musical this spring.

    Has anyone worked with this company before that would have some feedback for me?

    Has anyone used these specific designs before? What did you think?

     

    Thank you for your feedback!

    Great company! I've worked with them for decades. What are your concerns? Their designs are student-friendly and their rented blueprints very detailed. Each also includes a generic set of building instructions: all tools, fasteners, types of materials, how to do stairs, modify sizes for different stages etc.
    They know you will have to modify their designs (my stage was a thrust stage and no one designs for that) and that's fine. I would advise cutting up a copy of the plans and mounting them onto file folders to build a scale model as that will solve confusion about which part goes with which. Some designs work better than others of course, and may not fit with the style you envision for your production.
    You can draw on or even cut up the blueprints but must send back all the pieces (including the pictures, which can easily get lost) for the rental to end. 
    Very responsive customer service too.
