We own Dewalt battery operated tools and we do have pneumatic capability. In special circumstances, we have the possibility of borrowing special application tools from other area resources.,
The shop has a reasonable amount of stock scenery. Our shows are built by relying on the stock first and building the rest as needed. We depend upon imaginative, resourceful and frugal thinking. During strikes, it is important to preserve as much reusable scenery as possible, reclaim as much lumber as possible, and recycle as much hardware as possible.,
