I hope this is a rehearsal photo, and not a house with one paying customer.

I'm looking at the those lights stationed on the high platforms. Are they working on a movie set?

They are Follospots Roger

with real operators like

what I had done in many

of my early years

The scaffolding unlike

actual circus equipment

shows that this is most

likely during filming

Most if not all of the

units hung in strings

are 14" to 18" Scoops

Very likely 1K each

Real canvas top must be new

There is not a mark on it

If this is in Hollywood then

the operators were Local 16

From the shape of the bases

these were "Strong" either

Troupers or Super Troupers
