Theatre Safety Guide
Have you become the person responsible for theatre safety in your auditorium...despite no training in it?
...What gauge cable is used for stage lights? Why?
...When does a surface become a ramp..then dangerous...then a slope..then dangerous..then a wall?
...How can you test your students to know they understand the theatre safety limits?
Only $97?...nope: $47! This is your life saver.
Highly Recommended
"As a first-time theatre teacher, Theatre Safety Guide has been an absolute game-changer! It breaks down every aspect of safety in a way that’s clear and easy to apply.
The tests and answer keys included saved me so much time. I feel so much more confident leading high school students in a new environment and managing my space safely.
I don’t think I could’ve gotten through my first production without the help of this book!”
