We struggle with our current mics not working consistently When they cut out, it is difficult for the performer as well as the audience when they can no longer hear what is being said, sung, etc. The new equipment will provide a better quality experience for all involved. We know this will improve the quality of performances for many years. We see this as an additional way to give back to the wonderful community that continues to support the theater. They deserve to attend well organized shows and part of that is having reliable sound equipment. After our first show using the new equipment, we plan to conduct surveys. Audience, cast, and crew members will be asked to rate the quality of the sound and compare it to previous shows they have seen or been a part of.
