Stage Rigging Handbook, Third Edition

To keep it short... This book is a MUST HAVE in your theatrical library. If you are a technical director, stagecraft instructor, stagehand, rigger, scenic designer, theatrical carpenter, or just have any inclination of doing anything dealing with theatrical rigging or scenery, this book is a must read.The author did a great job making this an easy read. I come back to this book time and time again, it has even, on more than one occasion, make me want to write my own book, just because of the way I feel after reading a few chapters, confirming my existing knowledge!I've shared this book with ton's of co-workers, students, and stagehands alike.

As a non-rigger, but experienced stage person and craftsman/mechanic, this is hugely helpful to understand more about rigging. Great to be reminded of the seriousness of the craft, and the safety issues. Well written--I do wish there were a few more illustrations describing methodologies, but is still an enormously helpful resource.

This book will be a good reference book and also will be goo to read on the side as well.

This book is a strong and straight froward approach to teaching the ideas of theatrical rigging. The section on automated rigging does not offer much insight beyond the concept of replacing the human operator with an automated system which goes in and out on a rail system. If you are a stagehand or part of any technical production team you should have this book in your library.

This book is helpful and gives good information.

Great in depth book about stage rigging practices and the use of fire curtains

This book is an excellent reference for stage and road rigging. I took a 2-day class with Jay a couple years ago at LDI conference and really enjoyed the experience. Jay takes this stuff seriously and is surely one of the grandfathers of the entertainment rigging business.

Extremely fast shipping, completely recommended book, chocked full of valuable information for the stage rigging industry. A must have

Cubre por encima todos los aspectos técnicos de la maquinaria escénica. Pese a estar desfasado en algunas cosas es un buen manual de base para descubrir las cosas que haces mal al colgar cosas del telar.No hay nada comparable escrito en español

It was a present for my boyfriend. He really liked it!

I'd recommend this book to anyone who has any involvement in festival or theatrical rigging. It goes into detail of all major and minor points about any system, stresses safety and common sense and lays out the information in a quick and easy access format.
