What equipments do you need when putting up a stage for a talent show?
Staging for a talent show, or any show, needs to have one thing at the highest priority, and that one thing is safety. Our friends and family perform on stage platforms, and you want to make sure that the structure provided is safe. Many people may be tempted to cut corners while building a stage, but that is dumb. Proper planning needs to happen before you can decide on what equipment you will need.

You need to know things like:
Where is it going? Indoor? Outdoor? Level ground?" etc.How big do you need it? How tall?How will you access the stage? Stairs? ADA Compliant Ramp?How do I get the equipment from the truck to the setup spot?What is my budget?

These are just the tip of the iceberg as far as questions go. You may want to do this yourself, or you might want to hire a company to build you your stage. Fuller Street Productions (www.fullerstreet.com) offers will call stage rentals, and turn-key supply of staging.

Plan ahead, and do not compromise safety.
