	Thank you everyone for your thoughts and suggestions so far, Kristi, I had thought of my 9x12 originally, but they really want that 6’ x28’ size. Personally, I think it will be too big, but thats what they want. Part of the reason MAY be that that’s the smallest the Digital Cinema projector will zoom. Also, as Dave said, the 12’ length on a 44’ wide proscenium and not hold enough text.

	Another reason my screen wouldn’t work, nor would yours, Dave, is that the only available downstage pipe (which IS right behind the main valance) is the one holding the first legs. This would prevent me from adjusting a taller screen to “Just show the bottom.”
