Frogers,
Why don't you try a vertical shadow box with a deceptive stairs. Very easy to get the guy off stage to reappear in the back of the audience. Something like this: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm190/BYUDAD/DSC00483.jpg Patrick |

Many thanks for the great suggestions guys, really appreciated. They all came up in our production meeting. We think we are going to go with a black art approach. We've come up with a design that we are going to submit to the tech department to build... Fingers crossed!

Black art isn't too terribly hard. It can be a pain but if you do some trial and error you can pull it off.
