The Toymaker and his son conceive a rescue plan in which the Toymaker's own son will become a toy. The rest, as they say, is history. This powerful stage production is the brainchild of Impact Productions, a non-profit performing arts group and production company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. But, being one of the only full time Christian touring theatrical productions does not come without its own unique problems. While they do perform in many theaters, the company also sets up in large church auditoriums at least half of the time.
All churches have their own unique design and their own set of design flaws.
In order to recreate a uniform stage every time, they travel with a Wenger versatile stage that can fit with different size legs to accommodate any size platform. Genie Supertower lifts are used to elevate a front and back light truss. Side light trusses are set at stage height in order to successfully achieve mood, selective visibility and composition to help create a surreal background effect during the scenes depicting the evil characters, and during the intense crucifixion scene. They also help contribute more depth and atmosphere when combined with the front lighting. One essential ingredient to the powerful dramatic lighting is the use of a crack oil hazer which produces a vapor mist that hangs in the air.
