  • 1.  Plans for round stage...

    Posted 07-28-2016 06:47

    Quite some time ago, round stages were discussed here and someone staged they had plans for a round they put in pie shaped wedged with wheels on top of their traditional stage that was easy to move, build and store.

    Can someone put me in touch?  I am considering building one this fall.  The fact that someone else had put in the hard work of figuring it out saves me a lot of time and energy!

    Thanks to all.  And I hope your start of school has been a great one!

    Hi, Rain,

    The device you mention is known as a revolve, or sometimes as a turntable. Here's a link to the previous thread:

    https://www.schooltheatre.org/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?GroupId=133&MID=11775&CommunityKey=35d3756e-031c-447e-a020-14aeb57718f1&tab=digestviewer

    I just did a Google search for "How to build a revolving stage" and came up with a number of sites, including plans and videos. There's a lot of information available on these, including some of the textbooks on tech theatre.
