The theater facility has two separate lighting control systems: the lighting console in the booth which provides intricate and detailed control for events and performances, and an independently operable architectural system which consists of four button stations around the theater and a processor that provides simpler control of lighting presets primarily for basic house and work lights and -- more importantly -- for safety and accessibility.

In November 2025, likely due to a brown out or similar power event (and its advanced age), the processor for the architectural system suffered a catastrophic failure rendering all button stations inoperable.  Without an architectural system, there is no way to operate the lights needed on a daily basis, save for the lighting console which is a much more complex and delicate piece of equipment housed in the control booth.  With no readily accessible "light switch" at the theater entrance, the only way to safely light the theater for classes and facilities use is for the lighting console to be left on at all times.  Maintaining an "on" state for the LED work lights and the LED house lights (currently located only over the center of the house) is not good for the console or the lights and provides subpar lighting conditions. 

While there are several options for replacement systems, the most affordable and seamlessly integrated would be the ETC Unison Echo.  All button stations and processors will need to be replaced and installed by an ETC Certified Technician.
