Abstract
An audience control barrier for use with an elevated stage, for maintaining physical separation for performers on the stage from an audience on the other side of the barrier. The barrier is modular in form, each module including a rigid panel and brackets for supporting the panel in vertical orientation. Interconnection means on the panels permit edge to edge interconnection of modules to form a stage barrier of the desired width. According to a preferred feature, the brackets which support the panels include a top bracket having an angled flange which may be driven into wedging engagement with the top edge of the panel to hold it in place. Means are provided for interconnecting the brackets which support the panels to the legs of the stage. In a preferred form, the interconnection means comprises a hook plate configured to fit around more than half of the periphery of the stage leg, and a flipper or gate which may be moved to locking position to secure the barrier to the stage legs.
