Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal of this project is to enhance the lighting capabilities of Memorial Auditorium with the purchase and installation of a cyc and cyc lighting. Achieving this goal will allow Dawson-Boyd Arts Association to provide a more sophisticated level of technical lighting for the performances in each season. The results of this project will be measured by the completion of the purchase and installation of the equipment. We will also gather informal feedback from the Dawson-Boyd Arts Association board, from audience members and from artists and technicians whose productions use the cyc lighting.
