The entire stage floor, including pit cover, is painted black. The stage floor and caliper area is all covered with 1/4″ masonite. The wood is laid over wood sleepers and cushion pads. There are 6 traps center (4-1/2′x8-1/2′), floor pockets and irregularities al over, but not serious. We have a Rosco floor available for dance use (requires advance notice). There is a traproom available.
The stage floor is 3-1/2 feet above the front aisle (7′ from the pit floor), and wraps around the pit on both sides. The pit is solid covered, set at 13″ below the stage, with a step leading down to it. It is of aluminum frame and plywood deck modular construction, covered with a vinyl flooring material. It is solid but hollow-sounding, and can be carpeted.
The first row of seats is 6 feet from the pit rail, 18′ for the apron edge, 28-1/2′ from the
Grand Drape and 34′ from the movie screen. Then stage floor is roughly on a line with the audience’s eyes from all seats, and is therefore nearly invisible.
