Hello,Our theater needs a new console. We are moving into a small storefront space. Our light rig will be pretty small to start. Just 13 LED's, but we intend to grow.We have been asking around and have received suggestions of the ETC Element 250 channel controller and the Pathway Cognito...

What about a starter pistol? Isn't the barrel sealed so there can't be a projectile?

Thanks, John. Aside from a sound cue, what would you guys suggest? Cap gun?

We are doing a production that requires a prop gun to be fired on stage. I have been given the task of finding one.What should I look for and where would I find it. We are a small 50 seat back box so it can't be crazy loud.I found a gun that shoots 6mm blanks. Is this good?

We are a small storefront that is just opening. We have a current total of 13 LED's and will expand as soon as we can. We had hoped to get by with our old Leviton N 7024 24/48 Channel board, but after having our lighting designer explain it to me, it seems rather impossible.So we have maybe...

This is the board that we currently havehttp://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ProductDetail.jsp?partnumber=N7024&section=38196&minisite=10251Will this board work for us for a while?

Thanks for the advice thus far. To make it clear, I have no intent to discriminate, this is the reason we are looking to have the ability to run from an iPad or dedicated laptop if need be, but I have also worked many jobs on stage and off that a person in a wheel chair would not be able to do...

This is where I heard Masonite was no longer available Masonite - ControlBooth

I thought I read somewhere that Masonite flooring was not available anymore?

As a teacher, with more than 10 years of non-educational experience I can believe what I choose. I bet you have seen a performer or two actually mouth "Thank You" during a curtain call. Is that purely thanking the audience for stroking the performers precious ego? or is it truly thanking the...

Cast bow is saying Thank You to the audience. The audience chooses to Thank the cast back with applause. Accept, react, and move on, Yes And, bow, applaud pretty much the same thing. If you ask me, the audience says thanks every time they laugh, are silent at the right moments, cry, giggle...

As an actor, I believe there should be a curtain call. And it is NOT for the actor. This is a time for the cast, on behalf of the entire company, to thank the audience for spending a few hours and some cash to come see them do what they love. The theatre I teach and work at believes in the...

You have to think about the actors too. It is really hard to rehearse 3-6 weeks to only get a weekend worth of performance.I find the show doesn't even hit its stride before week 2.

Good to know about Elation. Thanks. We had 2 Elation dimmer packs donated to us for a touring show. They worked fine for the 6 Par cans we used, but I will look for something better to put in the permanent space
