English: This small portable theater, with stage, proscenium, lighting and switchboard, and curtain, weighed 3000 lbs packed and occupied 735 cubic feet. When unpacked and set up, which could be done in two hours, its proscenium opening measured twenty-five feet wide and sixteen feet high, and its stage allowed for a depth of eighteen feet actual playing space. The lighting system eschewed footlights for portable side and overhead lights.
