Instructional Equipment: Division of Performance and Guest Services

Facilities Department · Sub-Level Shop · ext. 2120

Black Box, 140 seats. A two-scene preset lighting console with 96 dimmers, installed 1996, and a conventional instrument inventory — ellipsoidals, Fresnels, and PARs — of 112 units. There are no moving lights and no LED fixtures. The College’s position is that a graduate who can focus and gel a conventional plot can learn a console in a week, and that the reverse has not proven true.

• Sound: a 24-channel analog console, four monitor wedges, a two-way house system installed 1999.
• A counterweight fly system with eight line sets. A rolling A-frame and two personnel lifts.
• Prop and armor shop. Foam and thermoplastic forming, a vacuum former, riveting and leatherwork benches, and an armor inventory of eleven partial harnesses maintained for the mounted and armored sequence.
• Stage combat weapons, inventoried and stored in a locked cage, inspected before every class meeting and logged.
• Early music. Four loaner instruments — two lutes, a theorbo, a bandora — and a workbench with humidity-controlled storage for the maintenance certificate.
• Makeup lab, sixteen stations with proper daylight-balanced mirrors, the clown makeup bench, and a plaster life-casting station.
