Stage & Concert Set Up

Introduction:  

When planning school dramas or concerts, issues and questions regularly arise regarding things like the use of fog machines, set construction, occupancy loads, security, fire regulations and emergency procedures to name a few.

This web page provides general information and specific guidelines for schools to review when planning a performance. These guidelines are intended for use by anyone involved in live theatre productions in a school setting and may be used only to assist in ensuring safe practices. They do not cover every scenario. 

Note: The responsibility for live performance safety remains primarily with the school principal.   

***Please ensure all staff involved in the concert set-up follow the procedures and documents linked in the column on the right.
