Skin of Our Teeth

In working on the show Skin of Our Teeth, I learned how to work with wheel jacks to adjust the set walls from scene to scene and how to be able to take the weight of the set wall and move it by using a 2X4 by pressing it and setting a castor wheel which was attached to the board against the stage floor to pivot the wall to maneuver it one way or another.












In addition to working with wheel jacks, I also learned how to create the simple illusion of a wall collapsing by screwing hinges from the floor to the panel and tying a rope to the top of the panel so that it can be raised back to normal or lowered and tied to stay in position.
