Challenges Faced When Producing Starlight Express in a Marquee




Generally:

  • If generators fail no mains to use for electricity
  • Will not be locked and as secure as a building could have equipment stolen if not safely away
  • If any damage occurs to marquee water could come through, this could cause an electrical fire risk
  • Sound will travel more easily through walls than a conventional wall
  • Backstage will need to be accessible for roller-skates and allow enough room for 93 skaters
  • The backstage area will need to be in the marquee or connected to another building but have a solid stable floor and protection from outside conditions
  • Makeup will need to be stored not in the tent to regulate the temperature not allowing it to get too hot or cool
  • Adequate lighting backstage
  • Ability for the whole tent to be in black out including natural light
  • Outside the marquee sufficient paved or boarded walkways to easily transport equipment without stepping on the grass
  • Outside noise will be more easily heard
  • Security!

 

My Role:

  • More seats to sell tickets for (70 seats)
  • Storing merchandise and programmes
  • It will be hard to attach posters
