South Africa - The New Lyric Theatre at the Gold Reef City Casino in Johannesburg, is the new home to a grandMA full-size and four MA NSPs (Network Signal Processors).This striking venue recently opened its doors to the acclaimed production of Hairspray.

One of South Africa's most renown lighting designers, Denis Hutchinson was nominated as both the consultant and the LD for the theatre. "The intention of being both consultant and LD was two-fold," said Hutchinson. "Firstly, I had to see to the completion of the theatre and be on hand for trouble-shooting. The second motive was purely selfish; I chose the new toys for the theatre and I wanted to be the first to play with them."

With Hutchinson being very particular about what equipment he wanted, he finally selected DWR Distribution, who supplied the automated lighting and control, Prosound, T&A Lighting, Electrosonic and Iyeza Theatre & TV Lighting to provide and install his kit of choice.
