A scene class is where the teacher teaches, gives homework such as a scene for one, two or more actors and then they perform the scene. They want lights on the students for the scene. Something in 20+ years of
theatre classes, I've never had requested. The work lights are fine. We've been closed for 17 months without income so getting
LED is out of the question or I'd do it yesterday. Our other
theatre is all
LED. Now they want to use inexperienced
stage managers to operate our equipment. While I'm happy to train experienced techs on our
system, I don't like the idea of folks who don't have the experience of how things work or go wrong up in the booth. They're pushing us in every corner of this rental and we need the money.
