Have you ever worked in a community or school theater in which the creative person had every good intention of using lighting and projection as tools, but wasn't quite sure were to begin? If this hasn't happened to you, consider yourself very fortunate. For those of us who often find ourselves offering tips and advice to neophytes, Apollo offers the Apprentice Gel Kit and the Gobo Tool Kit.

Apollo Design | The Apollo Gobo Tool Kit
While theater craft teachers maintain a full schedule of activities, a helpful hand can often be considered a blessing. These kits are intended to be that helpful hand, providing a collection of materials at a deep discount specifically to assist the school and small theater market.
As former Arizona State University Theater Instructor and creator of the Gel and Gobo Kits, KC Hooper states:
"Many years ago, when I first started teaching lighting design, I chose the main colors the students needed to work with because the numerous choices in the swatch books overwhelmed them. I wish I would have had something like Apollo’s new Apprentice Gel Kit to make it easier for them. Or I remember always looking through my drawer full of gobos, never able to find the common, most useful ones I needed. Apollo’s new Gobo Tool Kit would have come in handy during those times as well.
We are offering these two kits to introduce and simplify the color selection process and the use of gobos in general stage lighting to beginning students, educators in lighting programs, community theatre staff, and architectural consultants. As we consider them training tools, the kits carry suggested retail prices that provide significant savings from buying the gel and gobos individually. Seed money, if you will, toward future repeat purchases."
