This is our theatre. It is interesting to say the least. My favorite part is the seating the fold out seats make no noise and are all brand new. The lights at the back are a mystery, we don't know what they are or what they can do. One of the other teachers said they project different colours but we haven't seen them on yet. I wish I had my lighting textbook here with me. I am really curious what these lights are.
When you look at the lamps you can see there is a weird bubbly lens. Does anyone out there know what these lights are? The body kind of looks like a parcan. We aren't supposed to touch the equipment without some form of supervision, this is vexing.
The stage is a thrust and not a very nice one. There is no offstage or backstage area. We are thinking of taking out the platform stage altogether and just working on the floor in front of a white screen.
The sound board was the only bit of equipment that looked vaguely familiar.
This is our mini lighting board.
Help us.

Hello Kim,
ReplyDeleteThose are LED par cans. They will be at least red, green and blue LEDs that can be mixed to produce other colours. They might have a white LED as well. Nice call on the par can!
