class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are the director of a school drama program, the odds are pretty good that when you started, you felt like you were thrown straight into the deep end.&nbsp;The director of the theatre program is often also the English teacher or the Music teacher.&nbsp; If you have in-depth theatre training, you might be on better footing than many others. Even so, you are one person trying to do the work of at least five people.&nbsp;You have to teach acting.&nbsp;Maybe dance.&nbsp;Maybe music.&nbsp;That scenery isn\u2019t going to build itself. &nbsp;How well do you sew?&nbsp;Do you paint?&nbsp;How much do you know about electricity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I maintain a blog of sorts at a domain called <a href=\"http:\/\/scenicandlighting.com\">scenicandlighting.com<\/a>.&nbsp; It started out as basic portfolio site, but it\u2019s grown and grown over the years.&nbsp;Whenever I have a little time, I try to add something more to it that makes it helpful and useful.&nbsp;If you are a drama director wearing all of the hats in your theatre company, you might take a look at some of the articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is a video article:&nbsp; <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/scenicandlighting.com\/article\/simple-design-choices-and-stability-of-basic-scenery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Simple Design Choices and Stability of Basic Scenery<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong> It includes simple advice on how to make walls more interesting, more stable, and easier to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scenicandlighting.com\/article\/simple-design-choices-and-stability-of-basic-scenery\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/YCIWY1..jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-386\" width=\"835\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/YCIWY1..jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/YCIWY1.-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/YCIWY1.-768x572.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a common trap that captures some people building scenery \u2013 especially novices.&nbsp;Maybe the drama program is run by a solitary English or Music teacher; someone who does everything for the show.&nbsp; \u201c<em>Okay, students! We don\u2019t have time for anything fancy. Let\u2019s just get these walls up.<\/em>\u201d&nbsp; \u201c<em>There\u2019s so much else to get done, we\u2019re going to keep this simple!<\/em>\u201d&nbsp; The flats are then assembled in long straight lines. The result is a simple box set. With a lot of braces behind it.&nbsp;When a door is slammed, the entire wall reacts by swaying and shuddering.&nbsp;Wallpaper is a go-to because it kind of makes the seams go away.&nbsp;Somebody maybe adds another hundred braces to the back of the set, time allowing. The braces are necessary to keep everything stable and rigid. The back of the set looks like modern art performed by insane beavers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wenger-beauty-and-the-beast-1024x414.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wenger-beauty-and-the-beast-1024x414.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wenger-beauty-and-the-beast-300x121.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wenger-beauty-and-the-beast-768x311.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/wenger-beauty-and-the-beast.jpg 1349w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the articles talk about different methods of changing scenery.&nbsp;There are some dramatic, exciting methods of changing scenery that can rely on your stock scenery and are easy enough to build.&nbsp;For example, this article is titled <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/scenicandlighting.com\/article\/changing-scenery-with-story-book-panels\/\">Changing Scenery with Story Book Panels<\/a><\/em><\/strong><em>.<\/em>&nbsp;It is a demonstration of a build from 2006 for <em>Disney\u2019s Beauty and the Beast<\/em> in a space with no flies and shallow wings.&nbsp;The design relies on the observation that every setting in the show happens in either The Village, The Castle, or The Forest.&nbsp;&nbsp;A simple system of wooden storybook panels flips among these three settings, while a centered modestly sized projection screen finalizes each locale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COM20481-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COM20481-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COM20481-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COM20481-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COM20481-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/COM20481.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I have experienced a phenomenon in school and community theatre where pressure builds up to put lots of excited but untrained volunteers in key positions backstage.&nbsp;This can often save a lot of money, and it feels good because it maximizes involvement.&nbsp; Unfortunately, as trained, experienced technicians are thinned out backstage, the potential for problems and danger increases.&nbsp;I made this video in 2021 to provide some language and some perspective for schools and community theatres who might feel things are getting a little uncomfortable as pressure mounts to thin down their staff. &nbsp;<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/scenicandlighting.com\/article\/managing-risk-in-the-theater-space\/\">Managing Risk in the Theater Space<\/a><br><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>The site includes many other useful things for educators.&nbsp;There are many more articles and videos, virtual light labs, and more.&nbsp; I was asked to share some content on this blog.&nbsp; I hope that many of you find this material useful to yourselves and to your students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:44% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Matt-headshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-391 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Matt-headshot.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Matt-headshot-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/teacher-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Matt-headshot-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Matt Kizer lives with his wife and son in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
