When designing the new facility, Children's Theatre Company wanted the lighting options to be as flexible as the seating. Working with the Tomcat design team, they could accomplish just that.The order included 65 pieces of medium duty truss (45 x 15ft sections, 12 x 5ft sections and 8 x 4ft sections) with asexual spigots. These truss sections can be configured in a number of ways; however, additional flexibility is provided by the corner blocks, designed with custom-made, spigoted truss attachment brackets (TABs). In addition to the truss, the order included 36 Columbus McKinnon 1-ton Model L chain hoists and two CM 500-pound Prostars. All of the Model L hoists came equipped with trolleys which allow them to move easily along the main building beams as needed.
This set up gives Children's Theatre Company a tremendous amount of flexibility in its new space for a variety of upcoming productions for the young and young at heart.
