Rail? This theatre doesn't have any fly space. Everything over the stage is<br>
dead-hung.<br>
<br>
I suppose something could be installed over the audience seating, but then<br>
crew would have to be taught how to counterweight battens properly.<br>
<br>
Without having permanent stage crew, I do not consider counterweight systems<br>
to be safe enough to use.<br>
