We too have to repaint and replace the masonite frequently. Druing dance season, April - June, we usually have to repaint the stage over 6 times!!! as the stage is danced on non-stop 12 hours a day 5 days a week! and throughout the whole year we usually repaint 10 times or more. We use...

Is there a 16bit Extended mode on the profiles? I haven't used those lights, but the MAC 250s I have don't work with our board unless they're in 16bit EX mode.

Have you thought of the ETC ION or EOS? they are great consoles, I've been using an ION for the last 7 months for everything from Jazz concerts to Rock concerts to Dance shows to Plays and Musicals and It's been great! Although if you do look at the ION, make sure you get a fader wing and touch...

Right now! I'm in intermission waiting for the Alberta Country Legends concert to resume. Have you ever done a show that you don't need to do anything for? I think i changed the lights 4 times in the first half... I'll see how many I need to do in the second. lol.

well, I live in Canada. so they don't need to be 21, but yes they are all over 18, most of them have been bar tenders for 5 or more years at various bars/night clubs.

thanks for the tips. I like the closing the concession 2/3 way through, but the GM and "powers that be" would never go for that. also, the audience is allowed drinks in the theatre, the GM feels this sells more because people won't feel rushed to finish. He has a strange way of looking at...

we usually hold 10 minutes. so our "15 minute" intermissions are normally 25! it's rather frustrating! and not for just the techs, the performers too!

Our theatre always opens late, also returns from intermission late, because the GM holds the doors for the few people left in the lobby buying their beer and such when the rest of the house has been seated for like 10 or even 20 mins! He says he'll always hold the doors for any amount of time...

I guess i got into lighting as soon as i was tall enough to reach a light switch. I would run around my house (and others) flipping light switches and seeing what light turned on. I guess i was facinated at how that little plastic thing on the wall was able to create light! lol. (at least this...

I've been using the ION for about 7 months, and I think it's great! in response to no "release" button, you could also just hit "sneak enter" as well as "Goto Q 0 enter" - both do the same thing. but using sneak is faster and you can select the channels you want to release instead of only all...

Hi, I'm not sure how many people are on this site, but it seems like quite a few. I am the House Tech / Resident LD for the Festival Place Theatre in Alberta, Canada. Every year we put on over 60 concerts, both local and professional artists, we produce 2 large musicals, we also rent the...
