When a show changes round in the rep, there's not enough time for each scene to be laid out exactly as it is in the show to allow the lights to be focussed on it. So a grid system is employed, making use of two large canvas tapes, which enables the lighting crew to see where the lights should be focussed for the forthcoming show.
