Scenic Projections for Lucky Stiff

Rental media is available quickly after payment is complete. This allows you to make choices in your staging and other scenery in response to what the media can do. Please provide the dates of the production and the name of the presenting institution. The standard agreement assumes the show will be presented with audience for no more than three weeks in one venue. You may rehearse with media for longer if you like. For most media, you are welcome to edit or rearrange things to suit your needs. There are often elements that can be added or rearranged by your choice. Instructions and cuing guides are included.

Lucky Stiff is a seriously fun show to produce. It is fast-paced, light-hearted, and crazy-funny. It needs to move very very quickly to be its best. It hops around instantaneously among dozens of different settings, with nothing more than seconds between many of them.

This media works beautifully with varying amounts of scenery. Use as much or as little as you wish. The media behaves like painted drops and set props being flown in and out throughout the show. The sensation of musical theatre and traditional showmanship is consistently maintained. Combine this with a some inspired stage lighting and a great cast and everything should fall right into place.

The original production using this media (above) had multiple projectors with slightly different compositions. This media is adapted to fill one screen while remaining faithful to the original design.
