The scene pit is the lowered area between the scene dock and the paint dock, adjacent to the ADC workshop. A little over 16' deep (from floor to the stage), it's the best place to store large, flat pieces of set. The pit is directly beneath the stage and there are panels in the ceiling/floor which can be removed to allow direct from stage to pit. This allows set to be winched up in a process known as trap flying.
In addition to storing set that is being prepared for a given show, the scene pit contains the ADC's collection of stock flats. These range in size from 8' to 15'7", and are intended to last several years, being used for multiple shows.
