I would stay away from EL (electro luminescent) wire as it is neither robust nor water loving. IE. El dies easily and do not mop it. If the administration does not listen to you, when you voice your concern I would ask them to bring in a theater consultant or an entertainment safety consultant. Osha acknowledges that we in theater must be safe and also put on a show. Documented TTraining can replace railings on leading edges during performances for instance where in any other venue railing would be required with no room for discussion.<div>Mike<br><div>
