COLIN SHAY
Technical Director

Guys and Dolls provided several technical challenges. 

​

The six columns that surrounded the stage had to spin and were 18' tall. They were rigged to the 60' tall c-channel grid and tensioned. spinning around a 21'x 1-1/2" schedule 40 pipe.

​

The mission wall tracked on a platform to meet up with another platform and the wall spun while cantilevering over 7' beyond the platform. I used another 1-1/2" schedule 40 pipe and several aircraft cable tension points to keep the wall upright while it appeared to hover in the air and spin.

​

Also, note the pocket CNC work on the signage.
