(Apologies, moderators, if this is the wrong section to ask this question.)
Hello,
I am the Senior Lighting Director for my high school and I am in charge of designing the technical and artistic aspects of the school's fall play and spring musical. As well as other productions and events.
I tend to make my questions unnecessarily lengthy so I'll try to make this one short. If we were to purchase moving lights for the school's theater, would one be enough? If that was a bit vague, allow me to put it into perspective. We are doing 4 productions this year, Steel Magnolias in the Winter, In the Heights in the summer and Ghostbusters between those two along with another small production I can't remember right now.
My director told me that we should start off with purchasing one moving light and then in the coming years, purchase some more. I didn't agree with her because I couldn't see the point of having just one moving light for shows (maybe just as a special I guess). So what do y'all think? Should we just purchase one for now? Or wait to purchase multiple? Your advice is gratefully appreciated and I wish you all a good day.
P.S.-To add a bit more context, we have an ETC Element 40 and our financial status is pretty low right now but we are looking at requesting a grant.
