Yup,
Ford Audio/Video. I've been there a couple of times, quite a few years ago before I was involved in lighting. My parents' church had their sound system installed by them, and might still use them as a vendor for gear. I wasn't aware they offered stage lighting products, but that makes sense to me. To Ford, offering stage lighting products makes cents.

When exactly were the dark ages? Before the HPL lamp? Before Century-
Strand? Before limelights? Or are you speaking more broadly - the dark ages before a techie is born, when he can to to the theater and enjoy the entertainment, without looking up to note
gel colors and beam angles. The dark ages for some might be the silent ages for
others, the years they spent innocently enjoying a play, and didn't note mic positioning and stray reflections.
