Tools of the Trade / stage box

« on: Jan 03, 2009, 08:13 pm »

There are a lot of interesting and typically usable ideas that i read posted here and usually i do not have much of a problem... using a portable file box (big enough to hold my three ring notebooks) and a tackle box and in the past have found or build something that can be used a a workstation during the show. in the past the shows i have SMed for have had only one location or utilized a nearby rehearsal space only until we could get the stage. (also there is a shelf and cabinet space for my needs.) my upcoming production is going to be different... with rehearsal space and first series of performances at one location, then moving the entire show and production to another location i am somewhat concerned about my usual stage management set up and have decided to build/create something that will be small enough to be transportable (like in a car), with enough space to carry what i need and double as a workstation of types. i am interested in stage boxes and the like that people have customized or build themselves. i am not too worried about mediums as i have a strong woodworking and sewing construction background. i have an old box of types that i found in the garage on wheels i am looking at adapting, but am still interested in the feedback of others.
