Product Description
The Technical Brief is a collection of single-focus articles on technical production solutions, published three times a year by the prestigious Yale School of Drama. The primary objective of the publication is to share creative solutions to technical problems so that fellow theatre technicians can avoid having to reinvent the wheel with each new challenge. The range of topics includes scenery, props, painting, electrics, sound and costumes. The articles each describe an approach, device, or technique that has been tested on stage or in a shop by students and professionals.
Some articles included are:
Building Authentic Elizabethan Ruffs; Simple and Inexpensive Stained Glass; A Quick-Load Floor Pulley Design; A Simple Approach to Stretching Drops; Flexi-Pitch Escape Stairs; Spot-Welding Scrim with Sobo; Handrail Armatures for a Grand Staircase; The Triscuit-Studwall Deck System; A Frameless Turntable; Stand on Stage: Minimum Weight, Maximum Effect; A Self-Paging Cable Tray; Roller Chain Turntable Drives; A Bench-Built XLR Cable Tester
* Ten years of The Technical Brief articles bound in one complete volume
* Great reference of tips and solutions to unique technical challenges in theatre production
* Solutions provided by contributors from over twenty different drama programs

• Informative, But Dated. 14 July, 2008
Both this book and it's sister, Volume 1, contain a great selection of techniques and designs to answer your "How do I ...?" questions on stage construction. They cover many aspects, from costumes and makeup, to rigging and platform construction. There are undoubtedly things I will use or make in the future that will come from these books. The shortfall is that these were compiled some time ago and do not contain any mention or use of computers, nor are any url's referenced. Google searches for some of the companies mentioned were successful, but in some cases the manufacturer has moved on to other products.

• I Don't Like It For Architects 06 June, 2008
I really didn't like it for architects. I was work on a theater project, but it is so mechanical. Nothing for architects. No color pictures, only b&w draws.
