[SML] Focus tape making....

Years ago, in a rotating rep situation, we used 48” brown kraft paper.  Worked okay but could use something stronger….we had some tears along the ends..  White uncoated butchers paper sounds good although I’ve only seen it 36”wide.

One problem in rotating rep was  :   It made lighting refocus go much faster but the carps had to “sit and wait” while the light  crew did focus before carps  could reset the next show thus making for a much longer change over for carp  crew.    We tried an upstage /downstage split but never really enough space where we were so the carps just waited.
