Turn tables have been used in
theater for a very long time. They allow for quick scene changes. They
can be effective in adding movement to the show. On Broadway, a great
example of turn table use is in the musical, Les Mis. They use the
table to allow the actor to walk, but stay in one place.
The
most interesting turn table I've worked on is the one built into the
stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York. The turntable is built
across three elevators. All three elevators must be at the same level.

Techie's Corner As a continuation
of last month’s column about "Rain On Stage", this month’s column will
focus on water on stage. Specifically, water in sinks. Next month, I
will wind up this topic with a discussion of other types of water such
as hand pumps, fountains, waterfalls, pools, etc. The basics for water
in sinks are the same 6 major areas of consideration as for rain.
Supply, storage, delivery, recovery, control, and water quality. For an
in depth definition and explanation of these six areas, check out last
month’s column under TRE back issues, December ‘98.

A
turntable is simple to make and to operate. It can be any size and
shape. Round is the most popular. The one on this page is 4 feet
square. You can also take a look at a turntable during the building process...

Welcome once again to the Techie’s Corner. This month we are continuing our series on platforms. This
month we will talk about the most common platform in the theatre, the
ubiquitous 4 x 8 stock platform and it’s close friends, the small group
of “standard “ stock sizes of platforms.
All platforms consist of three things: the Lid, the Frame and the Legs and bracing.
