theatre box part three - completed

I've made some changes to the original theatre:

The stage now reads more as a stage...the newly added legs at the sides worked to enclose the viewport, but are flexible and allow me to work from three sides of the theatre, rather than just one. Two braces were added to the top corners for stability, and two dowels were added below these to suspend the velveteen. A cross brace was then added between the two at the top, mostly to allow for a wider range of suspension below. It also allows for a more diverse range of lighting.

Small battery-powered LED swivel lights were an amazing find (thanks again to Princess Auto). Typical stage lighting incorporates back, middle and front angles, and this has been mimicked to provide an (almost) even wash across the stage. Fortunately these can be adjusted readily, expanded upon, etc.
