well if you've read my hello thread, as you know I'm the technical director for our schools brand new theater, the whole school is brand new.
Well to list a few things they screwed up big time on,
Stage Flooring: The school board desided they needed the front of the
stage with a finished wood floor (waxed ect...) Not such a big deal since the red curtain cuts the black
stage off when closed for regular events but for theater events it doesn't look too good.
Well so the black part that's suppose to be
marley "spelling", is just regular wood with black paint over it, thus alls you can see is cracks as it's in no ways close together big gaps in it and the paint is chipping off. It scratches easy as hell so that's all you can see is imprints from things that were on
stage.

Communications- wired com
system how ever no com hookups on
stage, none by rigging, non up back, and none on the other side. No communication to back
stage (chorus and band room), and No Wireless
System.

Back
Stage Preview- A must for the plays, the wiring was cut out of the budget.
Alright so now the last part of your training I really don't want to say what this is, but I have too. This is the amp for your back
stage preview system which they cut the wiring out of the budget.
we have the amp and the big speakers sitting in the storage closet but no way to connect it into the
system.
----
Projector System- The whole place is wired for a
projector system front
stage hookups, in floor hookups around the theater, a whole A/v setup in the front rack so the principle can just come in and
play a video, and even the wiring was run. But they cut the
projector out of the budget.
-----
The stage- In part with the wrong
stage flooring put in, the waxed part is warping and it's un even, the front lip
trim has snapped due to stress of being put in uneven and the front brown partical board part is chipping.
-----
The lighting
system, the company abandoned us said they came out a year ago when no one was even in the school as it hadn't been turned over to the city yet. thus they were not obligated to train us on the
system.
4,000 Software
system (
WYSIWYG) useless to us, they tried installing it on a FAT32 Formmated
system (which if you read the
manual it says it WILL NOT work on) and they just gave up. We had to fix it our self and find a company to train us on it.
