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: Growing Flowers on Stage Break-Away Glass Photo-Murals for the Stage Quiet Wire-Rope Curtain Track Free Standing Curved Stairs A Measured Approach to Kerfing A Low-Voltage Remote Controller for Special Effects Toggle-Clamp Locks Comparing Four Plastics as Scenery Glides Low Pressure Air Casters A Simple Lift Jack Using a Piano to Create a Reverberation Effect Horn-Hat Mics for Sound Reinforcement * 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.
