Hi all,

This might be a silly couple of questions, but I'm SM on a production of Noises Off, and it is a 2-level set. As is probably obvious, I need to spike the rehearsal space as soon as possible to ease blocking, but how could I go about this? The only thing I can think of is to set the second level behind the first with the stairs leading from the first level to the second level, but that's far from ideal.... could I possibly simply place different color spike tape directly next to each other to indicate the different levels? Like Blue for ground level, Red for the second level, would that read well? I'm still leaning towards the first option, simply because it could allow the actors to get a sense of how many steps they'll be ascending/descending, but I'm not sure if that is truly the best option, I'm concerned the actors would get used to going upstage and then be thrown off when we get the set and they have to climb stairs...

I'm also at a bit of a loss as to how I can notate the blocking. I'm pretty sure the method of simply putting the second level behind the first will work well for that, I just want to be sure-what do ya'll think?
