Equipment/Facilities
ACHF Arts Access
The proposed equipment upgrades are to provide more efficient and easier use of lighting and audio at the Memorial Auditorium Performing Arts Center, without the need of a tech person present. Making better use of the facilities resources and limit cost of a technical persons involvement, will allow for the Memorial Auditorium Performing Arts Center to be used more often by organizations presenting performances. At the end of the next season of events, we will be able to look back and measure how much more the Memorial Auditorium Performing Arts Center was able to be utilized for performances, due to the fact that the extra expense of paying a technical director was not necessary. Also, the persons running the new, simplified remote system will be interviewed after shows and rehearsals, to receive their input about the new system.
A questionnaire was given to board members to evaluate how the system improvements met the goals of the project. The Friends of the Auditorium have found that the new sound and lighting system has saved the Friends money that they would've had to have spent on a lighting and sound technician, because they can now operate the system themselves for rehearsals, etc. Due to the cost savings, the Friends will be able to bring more performances to Memorial Auditorium for future seasons.
