When I arrived at my current University, we had 6 Source Four 26 degrees, 16 36 degrees, 5 Altman 6x12s, 20 PARs, 3 Ovation LED cyc lights. We purchased 3 LED PARs (Chauvet COLORado Tour Zooms) {not my choice}. I was just allowed to purchase 10 26 degrees and 10 PARs. I'm about to write a grant for more instruments. I need some advice on what to add to my inventory.
I have an Element and a refurbished dimmer rack (96 dimmers). I have a catwalk in the house and the "death bar" over the apron - named by someone way before me, coves, and 4 electrics on stage. The theatre has a 40' wide, 25' deep, 18' tall procenium opening. I'm very lucky in that the entire fly system was replaced 5 years ago. (I am unlucky in that on the 1st electric, the contractor did not run wire for 5 circuits out of 10 to the dimmer - working on that). The circuits do not work that should power the death bar, so power comes from the coves. I have that on my list of mysteries to solve.
My VERY basic rep plot has 15 areas with 2 color front light, 2 colors of down light, which leaves 6 36 degrees for specials (side lights with gobos or back lights for the other side of a door).
I know I want to replace the 6x12s with 26 degrees. I need irises.
What do y'all think?
