| Initiative Title | Phase Two of Lighting System Upgrade for theater |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | After phase one of the planned upgrades is complete, a significant portion of the lighting system will still be out of date and in need of replacement. The remainder of the Source4 Ellipsoidal Reflector Spotlights need to be retrofitted with Source4wrd Color II LED engines. LED strip lights will be need to be purchased to fully illuminate the cyclorama, specialty hanging hardware is needed to provide adequate side lighting, and specialized lighting accessories are needed to help cut beams of light to fit the curves and angles of the space, as well as show-specific scenery. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The quality of theatrical productions will be sub-standard. In addition to the Arts and Communication Department, the theater is used for college events as well as rentals. Potential customers will seek other venues that are able to meet their requirements. |
