MASKING Due to the large Proscenium opening it may be to a production s advantage to make use of prehung house soft goods. A current masking hanging plot is available upon request. PROSCENIUM BAG An acoustically transparent drop is tripped from the front edge of the Proscenium to the ceiling of the auditorium. The purpose of this drape is to hide the permanent organ and sound reinforcement speakers. The bag limits the effective opening height to 32'. ORCHESTRA PIT Fire code prevents seating patrons in the Orchestra pit. Typically, performers play w/ the pit up as it allows them to be close to the audience; however, the pit can be lowered to accommodate IMAG cameras or to act as a security barrier. The Orchestra pit has 12' of travel from stage to basement level. It can be programmed to stop at any desired height. There are two 8' doorways that enter onto the pit at basement level. FOH MIX /LIGHTING CONTROL POSITION To facilitate better sight lines a mixing/lighting control position was installed in the main floor 86' from the front of the stage. The Mix Pit is recessed 22 inches into the floor allowing patrons an unobstructed view of the stage when a mixing console and engineer/ld are in place. To accommodate touring acts 12" PVC tubes were run from the pit to stage right and stage left. These tubes are used to pull temporary mic/lighting snakes removing the need to tape snakes to the floor, which is in violation of local fire code. The length of the pull is 140ft. Acts too large to fit in the Mix Pit can set their gear up on the floor which covers the pit when it is not in use.
