Does anybody have any ideas for building an easy revolving door for Thoroughly Modern Millie?

We made a revoving door using a 4x4 post and mounted 4 wooden screen door frames attached to each face. We put a 2" wooden dowel pin in the top and bottom of the post and pivot point in the floor and the top of the door frame. We bent a pvc pipe and attached it on the backside of the wall above the door and attached a black curtain to hide seeing back stage through the door.

We're building a revolving door for Evita. We constructed the four panels from luan. It's actually three panels. One of them is double wide, and the other two attach at right angles to it. We used a pivot point in the center bottom, and put casters on the the ends of each of the panels. Unfortunately, it's loud as it rolls around its platform.
