    Computer Running Lighting

    The theater we rent annually for a youth Shakespeare class has all their lights (both the incandescents on a dimmer pack, and their LED cyc lights) run off a desktop computer, and only the computer. There is no console. If the computer crashes, you have no lights. (House lights and the stage...

    Does anyone know of an online ticket seller that deals in low-price tickets for a small venue that supports family or group tickets? e.g. tickets $5/each, or $20 for a family of six + $3.50 for each additional family member? (Loose definition of family, if they purchase online together and enter...
