  • Sight Lines

    Mark audience sight lines on stage floor before building set pieces.

  • Light Angles

    Test shadow angles with actual puppets — flat mockups mislead.

  • Overhead Weight

    Secure heavy backdrop frames — tipping frames injure performers and audience.

Safety Notes

  • Secure overhead rigging and backdrops — unstable frames tip during quick scene changes.
  • Tape or cover stage floor trip hazards — performers focus on puppets not footing.
