Hi, Joan, My suggestion would be to contact George Swope at LaGuardia. He runs their theater tech program, I believe, and should know all the NYC-specific info you need. Here's his contact info: https://www.laguardiahs.org/studio_technical_theater Good luck, Anna Anna Bean The Albany Academies ...

Hello, Holly, Many years ago I taught in a theatre dept. that did not hire a theatre consultant for their $57 million dollar performing arts complex.

Hi, John, I am contemplating using professional projections to put behind the recorded performance. As for the editing, I am hoping the school film editor will be able to deal with all the different aspects. I may, for example, choose not to use the underscoring because that adds so many more cues. ...

Hi, Cathy, from your southern (Vermont!) neighbor. I attempted a similar project this fall. Because we do not have cameras or operators, I asked GNAT to film.
