PRODUCTION DESIGN
The photo above is a view of the concert set-up for the first original Candlelight Concert.  There will be a few major modifications for the upcoming Candlelight Concert II....  Mainly, three large, fan-shaped backdrops covering the altar of the church.  Below is a rough sketch that I composed in May of this year, in hope that I would be able to realize my new vision for the "stage" area.
My origanal backdrop support concept involved using a piece of wooden dowel to support the fabric.  After research I realized that this was not the best option...  It was far too costly and might break with the weight of the heavy fabric.  My solution involves Spun Polyester rope, tested at 500 lbs strength.  If the backdrop were to fall it would become a serious fire hazard.  The final weight of the centre backdrop is approximately 28 lbs, It has a width of approximately 13 feet wide and measures an astounding 24 feet in length.
