Theatre Tour Experience – PJ

Picture 1: This is a picture of the fly space in the ES Theater. I like how all the drapes/curtains are numbered so it is easier and more organized for the crew to know which curtain they need to pull up/bring down easier.

 

Picture 2: This is a picture of the bleachers in the ES Theater. I like how the seating is flexible and how the bleachers are moveable. Flexible seating is better than fixed seating as different directors might have different ideas that might require different seating positions.

 

Picture 3: This is a picture of the spotlights in the MS/HS Theater. I found this very interesting as I did not expect the spotlights to be so big and far away from the stage. I learned that the spotlights were big because they needed to be powerful enough to reach the stage and they were far away because they produced a lot of noise. This noise would affect the audience, thus they are in an enclosed room far away from the stage/audience.

 

Picture 4: This is a picture of the fly space in the MS/HS Theater. This was different compared to the fly space in the ES Theater as it was not numbered. I found it very cool because the fly space was almost doubled the actual theater’s space. The fly space has to be bigger than the theater so it can fit all of the curtains/drapes so it can be out of view of the audience.

 

Picture 5: This is a picture of the dimmer room in the MS/HS Theater. This is where the crew can dim all of the lights in the whole theater. I liked this as it was very interesting how each light had its own dimmer panel.

 

Picture 6: This is a picture of the dimmer room in the ES Theater. I found the difference between the ES Theater and the MS/HS Theater’s dimmer room to be big. The one in the MS/HS Theateris older and also slightly more difficult to operate whereas the one in the ES Theater is newer and easier to operate.
