Technical Design Solutions for Theatre Volume 3
About this book
Technical Design Solutions for Theatre is a collection of single-focus articles detailing technical production solutions that have appeared in The Technical Brief Collection, a publication of the Yale School of Drama's Technical Design and Production Department. The primary objective of the publication was 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, projections, sound, and costumes. Each article describes an approach, device, or technique that has been tested onstage or in a shop.
- Great reference of tips and solutions to persistent technical challenges in theatre production
- Solutions provided by contributors from over twenty different producing organizations
- Ten years of The Technical Brief Collection articles bound in each of three volumes
- A comprehensive index to all three volumes included in Volume III

A Lever-Arm Retractable Caster
The uses for a retractable caster in both the scene shop and onstage are many. There are many designs for this bit of hardware, but few are as easy to manufacture as that illustrated in Figure 1. The caster’s vertical movement is executed with the now familiar lever-arm toggle clamp. Some of these clamps, such as McMaster-Carr’s 5093A58, feature plungers with internal threads, and some stem casters, such as McMaster-Carr’s 2834T61, have perfectly matching external threads. Epoxy or thread-locking compound will keep the two pieces mated, and at under $25.00 a set, they make a very cost-effective addition to any theatre’s stock.
