Post a pic of your theater or tech stuff

Here's some quick photos I just took with my phone:

BHS Auditorium - a set on Flickr

one of our recent rentals left a string of Christmas lights. I couldnt think of a good place to put them... But after seeing your pic, they are going into the booth

They actually work quite nicely for ambient light. We have some plain white lights in the coves for the same purpose. People always seem to like them, we were decorating for the holidays and they just kind of stuck.

I wanted to take a break from hang/focus yesterday so I walked around with my camera and took some artsy pics.

My mascot sitting on the desk. I need to think of a good name for him...

What exactly is the point of the dimmer control box? You have dimmers, what does that dim?

 

[willbb123]

The dimmer control box is up on the fly rail it controls the little blue lights behind where you can label the batten numbers.

Let's have a contest to name Will's penguin! (Perhaps in the off topic forum?)

The dimmer control box is up on the fly rail it controls the little blue lights behind where you can label the batten numbers.

"...where you can label the batten numbers" is known as an Index Strip, thus "the little blue lights" are Index Strip Lights. Many lockrails have holders for 3"x5" index cards (note cards) for batten identification.

Index strip lights. I knew there was a name for them but couldn't think of it. Thanks.
Haha if you guys wanna name my penguin, I will take suggestions. I've named it two-fer, cause I like the word and it's lighting related.

heres my new theater.
what I like:

• the new gear
• the led washes
• the touchscren house light and worklight dimmer control
• the concealed catwalk doors in the walls
• the newness

what I dont like:

• that the new gear hasnt been set up, figured out, or configured yet (we were shipped the wrong lightboard, to begin...)
• the sound-transparency of the doors - sirens can be heard through 3 sets of closed doors, and a parking lot, and there is a fire station a block away...)
• the fact that the LEDs are hung in the house, focused on the walls, creating an "ambilight" effect

I'm probably going to add to the "like" list, but currently its pretty frustrating having to work around the construction workers and not being able to use a lot of our stuff

In the pictures, the acoustic shell is set up. It gets carted off to an alcove on stage left when not in use.

Some of the architecture looks suspiciously like Cornell.
(possibly similar architects)

When was the building constructed?

It was constructed in 1931 and was renovated in 1996.
