    Budget Lighting for a quick fix

    This sounds like a terrible question... I have struggled to get funding for lights for our auditorium for years. We don't have any real existing lighting, other than a handful of old PARs. Now, suddenly I have a $100-$200 for a light board. Now, I know that is not a lot of money, but is there...

    Your favorite costuming and makeup books!

    Could I get away with an older printing of the Corson book? Amazon has a 2009 printing priced at $169 new / $123 used. A little steep, although obviously the standard. A 8th edition from 1989 is $5.89 used - quite a price difference!

    Your favorite costuming and makeup books!

    I want a few reference books for my students (and myself) in my drama classroom. I am a pretty advanced costumer, but not very advanced with makeup techniques. Mainly I want books that my students and I can reference for period costumes (men and women) and makeup, as well as for creating...

    Which lighting board to get for medium theater

    We have now had two representatives from different companies look at the space, and we are waiting for the details of their proposals. Both recommended an LED system, but offered to price a conventional light system as well. We are considering adding rigged lighting to the theater, as well as...

    Also, can I completely do without a console and control the lights from a laptop computer?

    Which lighting board to get for medium theater

    This is a rough copy of what I am putting together for a presentation to the Superintendent tomorrow afternoon. Does it look like I am on the right track? I am trying to take options from what everyone is saying, and then of course doing my own research (which is overwhelming!) I am going...

    Lighting Needs South Georgia

    Thank you! We are a small town, so this is the only theater around. Also, there are no stores or experts in our area. So, I really would have to get someone from Savannah, Macon, or Atlanta to come out. I contacted a few lighting stores, so I am waiting for some response as well. Being new...

    Lighting Needs South Georgia

    I am looking for a company/individual who could come to my theater and let me know what kind of lighting is possible. It is a school facility. Looking for someone near Savannah, GA, although Macon, GA or Atlanta, GA would be okay. We would be budgeting for a new light system, rewiring, and...

    These look really cool! The price is probably prohibitive though.

    Which lighting board to get for medium theater

    Thank you! Is there any other option other than bolting a pipe to the ceiling OR using trees? I have a feeling the administration will not appreciate anything that is not "pretty" with all the renovations (this is a rather old theater - built in the 1940s.) With the lights themselves, I am...

    Which lighting board to get for medium theater

    Thank you! It does sounds like we are in the same boat. I have no working lights currently, other than the recessed lights. I literally stand on the stage and manually flip seven lights switches (in between scenes, so I look like an idiot.)
