Scare Pair consists of two distinct unit sets, each with its own set of flown scenic elements. The operas share a set of rolling steel decks (not included in rental) that are reconfigured at intermission. Separate printed vinyl scenic flooring is laid on the decks for each act. Both operas utilize front projection onto scenery, and Usher House uses additional front-of-house projection onto the proscenium and any appropriate walls and surfaces in the house.

Both operas utilize an upstage LED wall or (in situations where depth accommodates) a rear-projection surface.

Usher House consists of a single-level deck, 3-sets of flown scenic hard archways and a downstage staircase. There are no stage changes within the opera.

The Canterville Ghost consists of one main wall and 3 sets of scenic hard legs. Additional furniture and prop elements shift throughout the opera and the main wall flies between outdoor and indoor scenes.

Sufficient crew and shift rehearsal time should be allotted for changing over between operas and for scene changes for The Canterville Ghost.

Stage Dimensions (not including orchestra, wing space and rear projection depth):
• Proscenium: 42’ W x 25’ H
• Stage: 48’ W (widest scenic placements) x 31’ D (PL to LED Wall/RP Screen)
