<p class="MsoNormal">I'm working with an architect who is resisting having a lighting position on the cheek walls of a new 700 seat theatre with 15' of forestage. I showed horizontal rails, vertical rails, and coves with and without access behind. He showed
on picture of a HS theate without. And the school does pride themselves on the their performing arts program.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">First, a lesson. Once you retire, don't un-retire no matter what, even for just one gig.<u></u><u></u></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, group, should I keep insisting on a box boom lighting position or give up? <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a rail on the rear wall also, a "balcony rail" position, which I'm guessing will get attacked also. I just keep remembering Tom Skelton saying repeatedly "rail is best". <u></u><u></u></p>
