Performance Space Details

Stage

The stage is level with the first row of seats and is 24' wide by 18' deep at the front of the pit. The working height is 10'. If this pit is covered (most common) the stage extends a further 8'.

There is no wing space outside of the stage dimensions, they are from wall to wall. Additionally, there is a restriction requiring audience accessiblity to a three foot wide corridor on the stage right side for a fire exit located extreme stage right on the rear wall. This door is also the only backstage access and opens directly outside to a covered porch with baffling to block light.

The theater has 36 2.4K dimmers feeding 6 buss connector boxes centered between 12 battons. The connector leads are long enough to reach the batton on each side, providing additional hanging positions. Each batton is 10' above the stage floor. There are two connections per circuit on each batton providing a distance of roughly 10' between connections.

The current control is an ETC Express 24/48® (Lighting Board Manual) configured to address one dimmer per circuit. The control protocol is DMX 512 and there is one dmx receptacle on stage right to plug in scrollers or other DMX controllable equipment. Control wiring is strict DMX 512 with all conductors connected and configured according to the specified pinouts, so all connected equipment must conform.
