So now to really hijack this thread (kinda).... After you finish a long day in the theatre (or theater?) and you want to get a Dr. Pepper do you invite your buddy to go out and 'have a coke', 'have a pop', 'have a soda', 'have a soft drink' or what? :lol: (I'm betting half of you here are...

Yep, Avkid. Mercury (maybe sodium) vapor lights is it. I'm not really too hip on borrowing fixtures. Of course we have a whole house full of brand new parnels and source 4's at the PAC, but I'm not really interested in hauling them to the Hockey Arena. Plus finding mobile dimmer...

Thanks soundlight. Prod. Adv. was my best price. Stage LIghting was more. I'll look into the other place and wait to hear back from my two "almost local" places.

Wellllllll, considering my "Local Supplier" is about 3 hours drive away, Most likely I'll be paying S&H. Unless I can find them at Menards. :)

Just discovered while doing Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats that we didn't get any pattern holders for our new theatre! So.... anybody have any favorite, cheap places from which to order them? (for source 4, size A) Best price I've seen so far is 6.05. (not sure on S&H tho) I do have some...

Here's a challenge I'll throw out there. Got a call from an aquaintance who knows I help load in concerts that come to the hockey arena. She wants help with decorating for a huge fundraiser dinner next June that will be on the floor of the arena. "You know about lights" she says "Can you...

Thanks 'soundlights' you're not after the fact at all, I'm still curious what the pay rate is all over!

Wow avkid, how'd you happen to run across that? :) I hadn't even seen that yet. Hmmm, let's have a vote. Who's photos are nicer, theirs or mine? :lol:

Thanks for your answers. For the one show I gathered crew for I asked for help from my buddy at the local University. I got University theatre students with experiences all the way from mostly costume shop workers, who were fine for unloading and pushing boxes and tying backdrops to battens to...

Tried to get a signature file attached so you would know more about our theatre. Here's the info:

I'm hoping for some ideas on pay rates around the country. I'm sure it varies by location, and school situations probably don't apply. So...Here I am in a new Peforming arts center w/o a paid TD. Everyone's paid by the hour.1. How much should (or "would" in your own theatre) the person...

Well, as far as fixing things, that's an interesting question. I suppose it will be whoever finds something broken will walk into the director's office and say "this needs fixing". We'll compare notes between the three of us as to how it should be done and it will get done. I hope. :) So...

And to cover some questions: There is barely enough money to pay a part time director. I don't know where they would find a person with the right knowledge willing to have a part time job as TD who might be needed for school assemblies, as well as night activities at various times. I would...

Thanks for the warm welcome. As a new venue we're still in the process of putting together a decent web site, as well as a technical fact book. I have been working on the book. And now have photos, once we get the website figured out. In the mean time I'll show it off by inviting you all to...

Hi everybody. I searched for a forum to jump into as I try to help tech the new Merryman Performing Arts Center in Kearney, Nebraska.The only full time paid staff (and she's only paid for part) is the Executive Director. There are three of us, (one's a high school student) trying to handle...
