To expedite our processes all plates that require cnc components for scenery build are coalesced onto a single page for our CNC technician to complete.
False Prosceniums are a theatrical staple in which we create a faux arch that frames the action onstage. This particular False Pro is special as its legs have embedded LED tape to create illuminate light boxes.
On the front side of the leg we have this intricate CNC carved faced depicting a woman with outstretched arms and a bouquet of flowers. The rear side of this unit is enclosed with lauan that has been covered with reflective mylar sheeting to increase the light intensity of the LEDs.
The header is a simple unit comprise of 3 4x8 flats with rigging hardware to lift the header up into position before lowering it back down onto the legs.
