I was at a 1878 opera house last week in Sandwidch IL... Amazing it's design especially given it's built above the city hall and jail. Free tours every week for all civic functions in one building. Two good antique stores in the town around the block and some places for food of interest. Next town over down the highway... A Trump Store. Literally a Trump store.
The opera house was looking for a quote on modern lighting to their space. Very nice and clean theater even for dirt in the attic, small opera house with the last upgraded in the early 90's.
More like a presentional hall in type. No fly space and like 12' at best for stage depth.
During our tour, my boss and the money guy for the theater naturally discussed some stuff, I and the more tech person for the theater took our own tours and onto our own discussions. All of us leaded by the money people in my boss at times saying... come see this, in where our data would need to go, as opposed to us wandering to makeup mirrors in confirming they were using the best of LED lamps for them.
Something that stuck me during the hours of crawling about ceilings, or examinging most rooms was something from the main person money for the theater. He was talking about all the work he and staff had done to the theater, and at some point mentioned that while he had offers for obsolete lighting gear offered for coming in for donation. He didn't want it. He was looking to upgrade the theater rather than lool to more obsolete gear offered. I was one of those offers.
In hearing say that, I knew I in the past offered this theater obsolete gear for free. Just kind of stuck on that concept I had never assumed of before.. Most spaces don't want the up to factory spec older gear I could donate. Struck me in stand alone concept,. This theater has lots of Fresnels in a closet as with other stuff they have no need for. They want modern and have funding to do it as opposed to just supplement their systems.
