"Goodbye, Old Taper: Part 3, Up to the Grid" - A backstage tour of the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angles, where plays like Angels in America and Zoot Suit had their premieres, just before it closes for a year long renovation. Part 3 goes above the auditorium, to the maze of the technical grid. www.CenterTheatreGroup.org
The old Mark Taper Forum grid looks like the interior of Space Mountain -- which is a pretty cool ride, but not an ideal layout for a lighting grid. This footage should be seen by all theatre designers to make sure that form and aesthetics follow function . I truly enjoyed your backstage tour and look forward to the opening of the new venue!
