| Initiative Title | Projector and Screen Upgrade |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2024 |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Replace our current 40-year old projection screen and add a permanent HD projector. The theater is a traditional proscenium arch theater, and it was designed and built for that purpose. It is currently the most artistic rented space by outside groups. These groups are continuing to request and need the ability to project multi-media to augment their varied presentations. The theater has a 7' by 10' RP screen which must be set up and taken down for each event. After 27 years, that screen has finally torn and is longer usable. There is a front projection screen located at the very edge of the stage, but that is non-functional and over 30 years old. The theater needs a full-size RP screen and permanently mounted HD projector to meet the needs of current and future groups. |

| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The quality of theatrical productions will be sub-standard. Potential rental customers will seek other venues that are able to meet their requirements. |
