Limited access between lighting bridges #1, #2, and none available at #3. Points consist of graded steel eye-bolts protruding through ceiling directly above bridges. Rigging requires significant bridling to clear lighting bridges and ceiling baffles. F.O.H. rigging requires sufficient advance notice.

Rigging
Varies depending on stage configuration.
Points are available virtually anywhere in the fly loft (Lyric). Low-load points taken directly from the grid's channel iron using grid baskets or motor stands (6 in house). High-load points may be taken from the grid's overhung I-beams and requires bridling.
- Between the F.O.H. rigging points and the fly loft, approximately 19' wide upstage to downstage and spanning the entire width of the auditorium.
- In-The-Round Configuration, the no-rigging zone lies directly above the center of the stage. Lighting and sound truss running upstage to downstage must be able to span the no-rigging zone. Minimum truss length upstage to downstage is 20' (outside dimensions).
- In Arena, Cabaret, and Concert with ceiling panels above stage, rigging points downstage and midstage between panels or three (3) holes in the upstage panels. In Lyric & Drama, areas where ceiling panels pivot and store.
