This show required a counterwight system to be installed into a blackbox venue for this cue, to raise to pool cover to reveal the water. The rigging points would fly out of sightlines when the panel was not in the up position. (See Production Credits)

The pool cover had fiber optics designed into the bottom that would sit in the pool of water when the cover was in the down position. The lighting team needed daily access to the power for the fiber optics, and needed to ensure that their equipment would not get wet. This process involved several interdepartmental meetings to find a solution that worked for the lighting team, the scenic build team, and the scenic designer.
