The walls for this show are all Hollywood flats that have the framing held back three inches. A foam build up was adhered to all the edges and carved to give the rocky look. All the fragments except the one on SR are rigged to fly. The floor is a 4 foot square masonite that is painted to look like marble. | |
| The ground row is curved to match the hard plaster cyc that exists in the space. The Flats are Standard Hollywood framing, using plywood cut out ribs on the curves. After the ground row was in, we then wallpapered it with the mountain image that was painted on muslin. |

| The show starts off in the airport and these jacked rolling flats mask the bed and then are struck in the first shift. The banner on the wall SR is clipped to the wall and is pulled down in the shift. |

During the show the bed needed to be able to fly in and out with an actress on it. The automation system we used for this was borrowed from Ithaca College, and developed by Garreth Conner, of Creative Conners. There was a trap underneath the bed, that an actor appeared out of. | |
| The bed is hoisted by a 3 HP motor, and assisted with counterweight. All the sheaves were custom built in house. We ran the show on a desktop computer that that was loaded with the Creative Conners software. |
