Building the Turntable, Stage, and Set for Salmon High School's Production of Les Misérables

Salmon School District's Performing Arts Department is currently mounting a production of Les Misérables: School Edition at the Odd Fellows' Hall in Salmon, Idaho. We converted the space to a theatre for the production by building a 3' stage containing a revolving 16' turntable powered by a Revolver system from Creative Conners, wings, and a proscenium arch. This is a stop-motion documentation of the construction process.

Sangapong Pornchaipimonphan very helpful of you

I'm wondering what kind of a budget you had for this project? Thanks.

[@apaceodyssey]

We are a small, remote school district with a fairly shoestring budget. We purchased most of the lumber, reusing some from previous productions, and all the labor was donated.

Did you guys use a belt along the bottom of a tire on the motor?

[@apaceodyssey]

We rented a revolver kit from Creative Conners. It just uses a friction-drive wheel along the bottom circumference of the turntable. You can check out the revolver kit here: creativeconners.com/products/revolver-starter-kit.

Love this video! And I have a question! I am taking a theatre Stagecraft class and I am doing a project to where we have to choose a play and research scenic production in past productions, and talk about what kinds of problems the production had scenically, and the solutions that were taken to solve the problems. Do you happen to have any of that information? And I can send you a pic of my assignment paperwork if you want? Thanks!

[@apaceodyssey]

Sorry, I haven't been monitoring comments on this video, and I'm sure I am too late to help out with this assignment, but I would be happy to if you're still working on it.

Hey there, I am the Creative Producer and Associate Director for The Queensville Players. We are currently in pre-production for our upcoming show Little Shop of Horrors that will run this November and was wondering do you still have the blue prints for this?
