Rigging

All rigging needs must be advanced with AMT. We have accommodated very complex rigging plots for Broadway tours, but due to the construction of our grid flexibility is required. All bridles must hang below the walking grid indicated below and pass through 10″ loft wells to reach the high steel.

Loft wells run perpendicular to the proscenium at Center Line, and 9′, 18′, 27′, and 36′ L & R of Center

There are no FOH sound rigging points downstage of the proscenium, therefore most artists stack their PA on the apron as opposed to flying it.

FOH Lighting Truss rigging points are available. See the attached Rigging Plan.

AMT can usually clear linesets for moving lights, backdrops, etc. when advanced.

• High Steel: 61′
• Walking Grid: 55′
