Technical Brief

Technical Brief is an indispensible publication for technical managers in theater. Written by professionals for professionals, its purpose is simple: communication. Technical Brief provides a dialogue between technical practitioners from the several performing arts who all share similar problems: "Make it fly! Make it roll! Make it disappear! Make it tomorrow!"

Let's stop reinventing the wheel. Our articles are succinct and complete with mechanical drawings. Individually, they represent the best solutions to technical problems. Combined, they serve as an ever-growing reference library, easy to read and well indexed.
