Erich Friend replied to Bryan's discussion Prop Guns on stage in a school environment"First and foremost, have a meeting with your administration, security staff, and local law enforcement to get their take on this. Be willing to do just about anything they request, yet explain repeatedly to them that this will all be…"

Erich Friend replied to Christine G. Dougherty's discussion LED tape lighting stairs?"Is this for an artistic look that the audience sees? Or for some behind-the-set Run-of-Show illumination for safety?
If it is for audience viewing, then you need to consider how brightly lit the steps will be due to the stage lights, as a dim…"
Erich Friend replied to Caitlen Hudak's discussion Costume Labels"One good resource is: www.costumeinventory.com

For foot protection consider Vibram moc shoes painted to…"

It can be a grand feeling if the dreams are cognizant of the realities of construction and finance, or it can be…"
Erich Friend's blog post was featuredChecks and Balances
The procurement process is a mystery to some, an opportunity for others, and a nightmare for many. A few come away feeling good about it, the rest want to take a shower to wash-off the spooge.We generally don’t put a lot of effort into our buying decisions, unless a large sum of money is involved, then we can become quite miserly. When spending an institution’s money, or a public facilities’ money we sometimes try to spend it like it’s our own (I’d call that good stewardship), and sometimes…See More
