The place was built in 1990, and hasn't really been updated very much in terms of equipment. Everything is a little bit dated, but it all works perfectly.

I'm basically the lighting designer for an 826-seat auditorium at Camden Hills Regional High School in Maine. It's almost 10 years old, now. It's a proscenium theater with no balcony. 17' x 55' proscenium, with two wooden tormentor panels. Only a half fly system, which makes flying full backdrops pretty much impossible, unfortunately.

• 164 ETC Sensor 2.4kw dimmers
• 2 boards: ETC Express 24/48 and 48/96
  
• Source 4s (x113)

• 10° Barrels (x6)
• 19° Barrels (x15)
• 26° Barrels (x45)
• 36° Barrels (x40)
• 50° Barrels (x12)

• 6" Fresnels (x21)
• Source 4 Pars (x15)
• Par 64s (x25)
• Studio Spot 250 (x5, but one is broken at the moment)
• Altman 3-cell 1000w Cyc Lights (x6)
• Great Performances FS400 Followspots (x2)

Extra Stuff:

• Iris kits (x5)
• Gobo Rotators (x2)

Pretty sure that's about it.

I don't know what we have for lighting inventory, as I just started going to school here (freshman at Boston University)
However, I do know what we have for control

3 or 4 smartfades in our smaller spaces
1 ETC Express (48/96, i think) in one of our blackboxes
1 ETC Ion in our good blackbox
1 ETC Obsession II (with designer's remote) in our Mainstage

marshmolly123 - I was at CHRHS for the ME State One-Act Festival in 2008, for Portland HS. Nice to find a fellow LD from Maine on here!

 

[edmedmoped]

The only stuff I know of at my school is:
2 Martin Mac 600s
2 Martin Mac 250+s.

Obviously there's plenty more but I don't know what haha

In my local theatre where I'm doing some training and stuff, everything is in this PDF

Nice! I love our auditorium, it's an amazing space.

Also, coincidentally, I'm seriously looking at Boston University for a possible college. I went down to visit this summer and stopped in one of your theaters -- I think it was the Tsai Performance Center. I met two really nice techies, they showed me around a bit. They'd just finished laying marley, so I was surprised they were in such a good mood.

Also, if you were at the Strom in 2008, you probably know my predecessor, Nick...

 

[NJLX]

Of course I know nick, we've been in touch.

Let me know next time you're in Boston, I'll give you a full tour(if i have time)

on topic: We have at least a couple hundred source fours, with a good assortment of different barrels, spread between our different spaces.

We also have a bunch of dimmer doublers for our mainstage and blackbox

In a couple of our small spaces(as of last year, anyway), we have 12-dimmer ETC Smartpacks(?) (nothing permanent installed)
for the small spaces, we have maybe 20ish S4s, and 10-20 fresnels(not sure what type, haven't been in those spaces recently)

I think we have another express in our lighting lab, but i'm not entirely sure.

Just for some variety, my church has a stage in the basement, and I've been slowly collecting lighting and sound stuff for it. It's pretty much all DJ-ing stuff at the moment, but I've been keeping an eye on eBay, hoping for some good deals to pop up.

12x PAR 56
24x PAR 38
a dozen or so clip lights (when they're behind the boarders, you can't tell the difference...)

8x shoebox dimmers
1x Elation Stage Setter 8

At my college, I don't know. For the main theater, we have bunch of ETC S4's, just as many Strand ERS fixtures, a half dozen Altmans, a bunch of PAR 64's, some fresnels, and some ETC parnels. For our other theater, we have a bunch of ETC S4's and Pars (due to limited power, everything uses dimmer doubling there). There's an ETC Expression for the main theater, an Express for the other, and a Vision for the studio theater.

haha, the color blocks barley count as intelligent! We have 40 moving lights at the moment. Hopefully we will pick up a dozen of the new 300 watt VL after it is introduced at LDI this year.

 

[derekleffew]

haha, the color blocks barley count as intelligent! ...

NONE of the lights that move, change color, or project images can be called intelligent. There's no such thing. Besides, we want to strive for obedient lights, not intelligent lights!

I usually don't laugh out loud on stuff I read on the internet. This is one of the rare exceptions.

All my own personal stuff. Been accumulating it the last couple years. I do lighting for 2 local community theatres. One group performs in an old church and the other seems to change every year. This fall we are peforming in the meeting room at the local Holiday Inn Express - should be interesting. Just when I get used to a place they pick another venue. Part of life in a community theatre without a home...
