Basic Design Theories for Theatrical Lighting and Its Application This pamphlet, created by Dean A. Sternke of Mainstage Theatrical Supply, Inc., provides basic information on theatrical lighting, and includes drawings and descriptions/photos of equipment used for production lighting. An added section, originally written for a Church publication, deals with lighting "noise". This is a PDF file, which requires Adobe Acrobat to view. Use the Mainstage Beam Analyzer to calculate intensity, field and diameter size for your ellipsoidals and pars.

Fire safety is an important issue. Our manufactured stage curtains are flame retardant, however much of the fabric sold separately is not. Please download our Entertainment Fire Safety Brochure for information on treating fabric and paint for fire retardancy.
