Way off topic: Do you know of any working hemp houses (theater rigging)?

Way off topic, but I am having a very hard time answering this...and since you'll are out in the field and see thing....

Does any one know of any theaters out there that are still running a hemp (sandbags, pin rail, etc) rigging system?  This is for historical reasons, nothing to do with trying to upgrade etc.

I currently know of only 1 space (Academy of music in Northampton MA) that is still running - everywhere else I know has been upgraded...or closed down/stripped out.

Any ideas anyone?

Thank you

  • Thespian Hall in Booneville, MO (claims to be oldest continuous operating live house west of Mississippi - unverified) was as of October, but they were taking bids for upgrade. I think they were going to try to remain a hemp-style house, but just change to synthetic ropes; budgets and operations concerns may have changed that plan.
