How Important a Great Stage Is

 If you are in the theatre business, you know just how important a great stage is for your production. Maintaining the illusion on the stage is half the battle when it comes to a play. Islander hit the ReverbNation stage at noon following short sets from side stage opening bands Lola Black and NeverWake. Exodus, Starset, Testament and Hatebreed had flown through their opening sets on the ReverbNation and Jager stages by 1:30 P.M. and it was time for Young Guns to get the main stages rolling.

The show was just the kind of high energy adrenaline shot needed at what is the Bonnaroo equivalent of dawn and threw down the gauntlet for every performer to take the stage for the remainder of the day. Anytime Washburn, Giddens, and Jarosz were on stage together, there was a noticable electricity. 

 

However, for productions that have a sizable budget, obtaining a professionally designed and created stage background is a preferable option. They are placed in a way that allows the stage crew to swap other scenery and props. In some cases, more than one backdrop may appear on stage during certain scenes.
