  • John's List of Tech Theater Terms
    Department of THEATER & DANCE Office of the TECHNICAL DIRECTOR Tech Theater Terms file last updated: 7.29.2010 (JDE) All information contained in this document is original material copyright © 2005 by John D. Ervin and is intended for the use of my students. Please contact me at [email protected] for permission to use this material in any other way. This is a work-in-progress and will be occasionally appended. Apron – The portion of the stage or playing space that is downstage of the proscenium arch. In traditional proscenium-style theaters, acting on the apron was a big “no-no” because it violated the stage picture being created by the proscenium arch. Thus many older theaters have very shallow aprons. Nowadays though, Directors can’t get enough of having their actors as close to the audience as possible; despite how uncomfortable it makes some audience members. This is all done under the umbrella of ‘intimacy’ and we all know how much artists love that stuff. Sometimes the apron is referred to as the “Forestage”. (See Figure 1 and 2) Arbor – Part of a fly system. A device mounted in one of the wings, which is connected to the lift lines at the opposite end from the batten. Stage weights are stacked on the arbor to balance the load suspended from the batten. In the case of a counterweight fly system, a rope hand line is connected to the top of the arbor, passes sequentially through the head block and tension block, and is terminated to the bottom of the arbor, forming a loop.

During the six-month restoration period, the interior and exterior were refurbished, the power supply was increased, modern conveniences were added, and the connected banquet facilities were renovated. Since reopening, it has been used as a performance space for choral groups, symphony orchestras, dance and jazz performances, as well as parties and meetings. The Temple was built in 1927 in a Classic Revival style. Originally part of the Butterfield Theatre chain it was used as a vaudeville/silent movie house for several years and then as a first-run movie theatre until 1976. At that point it passed through the hands of several promoters and community arts organizations during which it served as a venue for live performances and movies. Dr.

  • A Lighting Design Process for a Production of Stephen Schwartz’S Working
    A LIGHTING DESIGN PROCESS FOR A PRODUCTION OF STEPHEN SCHWARTZ’S WORKING A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Dale McCarren, B.A. The Ohio State University 2008 Masters Examination Committee: Approved By Mary A. Tarantino, M.F.A., Advisor Daniel A.Gray, M.F.A. Advisor Graduate Program in Theatre Maureen Ryan, M.F.A. ABSTRACT Stephen Schwartz’s Working was produced at The Ohio State University Department of Theatre during the spring quarter of 2008. Included in this document is all of the documentation used for the implementation of the lighting design for this production. The need to work forces humans to interact with one another daily and requires us to deal with the added stressors that being in contact with other humans creates. This theme is central to the story of Working and is a major point of emphasis for our production of Working. Chris Roche in his Director’s Concept states, “The construction of Working at first glance seems isolated and solitary, so many different stories – but very little unifying factor. I believe the common thread is the workers themselves. Who do we meet on a daily basis, and how does each of those domino-like moments affect the greater whole of our lives?” In support of the director’s concept, the lighting design for Working aimed to create two separate lighting environments one of reality and the other of fantasy. The challenge was to then connect the separate environments into one seamless world where the line of reality and fantasy are blurred.
