The Backstage roof has warped due to school glue. Some options to fix it are:

Strategically score the foam board with an X-Acto knife to flatten it out
Build a new roof if inventory allows
Drop the roof from the plan and construct an open backstage

Scoring the foam board would cause the roof to droop when placed on the walls. Supports columns would need to be made. Considering the amount of time needed to do this, it would be problematic. The second option is almost impossible due to lack of current material. The third option is unideal but may open up new oppurtunities. An open backstage may reduce maintenance process.

The third option will be pursued as it reduces construction time and maintenance.
