We can still do the scene change, it will have to fly in, in view of the audience but I think it will work. ?╟≤ Ferctission number. This is an element that needs to be designed. It sounds to me like a sort 6f truss that flies in and can be climbed on, possibly multi levels of trussing? Made to represent the steel super structure of a building? ?╟≤ Disappearing Car, Although I do understand the impact and wow factor of this element, this element poses many challenges, the most of which is the storage and maneuvering of the car when it is offstage* Because of the severe weather conditions here on Guam, taking the car in and out of the building would most definitely take its toll on the car. Do to the very limited wing and storage space in our Theatre we will have to be very creative in finding a way to simply fit this element into the building. I am looking into a few alternatives, a car lift for one and specially built floor jacks for maneuvering the car in it's offstage positions* I have not come up with an answer to this one yet. ?╟≤ Ftving Act I have been in touch with Trent Sherrell, he does a flying silk act. I have mailed Jerry a copy of his act and Mr, Sa^d has a copy of the tape, Trent does not own the rig he is using but it is another element that George & Goldberg could possibly assist us with. We are considering doing the flying act from a position just downstage of our existing Rain Truss (off the catwalk). This would require a bit of structural engineering and a trap door in the ceiling. I will work up some numbers for this. Trent is not available till Late December/January. We can continue to look for similar acts. ?╟≤ Large Jewel, At one point we discussed removing the jewel from the wagon and converting it into a flying piece in Jerry's new show rundown he has this piece plying in two different positions. One position is its original Finale position and one in a center stage position. I am unclear as to how we are going to proceed with this. I am very interested in hearing your ideas and responses to these issues, 1 am looking forward to working these issues out and getting this show off the ground.
