Back from a really good meeting with the set designer - he came up with something I really like - I made a few requests and a couple of suggestions, and now he'll do two versions via model - I'll be able to tell from those which will work best for me in terms of staging. One involves most of the stage floor being one level, while the other involves a square level (on an angle) in the front middle - I like that for certain reasons but have to make sure I'm okay staging around it. Either way will be fine. I've asked instead of using the actual theater floor that they build a stage, six inches off the ground, so if they do that then this other unit would be six inches on top of that - I just have to actually see it - very hard for me to tell on the computer. But it's designed for a lot of projections and seating, rather than one way, will be an "L" which I also like (we did Stages that way) and they haven't done an "L" in there in decades - it also allows for a few more seats.
