- Remember, cables can't be left hanging over large gaps. Your cabling needs to have each cable following the pipe paths and secured every couple of feet with tie line. Don't forget to reflect the extra distance this requires in you cable plot
- Cables come in specific lengths: 5’, 10’, 15’, 25’, 35’, 50’, 100’ (feet). Stick to combinations of these in your cable plot. In ambiguous situations, know that having a couple feet of slack doesn't hurt
- Edison, stagepin, and DMX cables can be daisy-chained, but True1 and PowerCon cannot.
Shows in KLT (Kresge Little Theater):
There are two ways the production can look go for you, depending on the venue. This is the easier scenario. Lights are hung on the pipes using ladders in KLT. If you need to hang lights behind the grand curtain, you'll also need a MEWP (Mobile Elevating Work Platform) like the SkyJack. Ask your TD about access to this during put in. Ladders don't require any special training to use, so feel free to teach actors and other prodstaff if you feel comfortable.

KLT lights need to be returned to rep plot (the basic setup for general KLT use) during Strike. You can ask CAC for info about returning to rep plot.

Good luck, and happy hanging!
