1. Why now?
With a
75% return rate we are thrilled
to keep challenging our kids.
We want to endeavor more creative staging so we can
stimulate new creativity. Our previous lights
acquisition is a perfect example of how we
have raised the bar on what we try to do.
2. Why not rent?
A thorough search of sound and
lighting rental facilities has revealed the kind of trussing
they rent is not appropriate for our needs because they are
heavy duty scaffolding solutions used for large-scale
festivals and productions. The material we have
sourced from Versatruss is appropriate but is not available
for rent. We have considered a home-made solution but
the cost-savings did not outweigh the safety
considerations, durability and resalability of a
turnkey solution.
3. Why not use a space that
has curtains?
The reasons are cost and
acoustics. Local gymnasiums and community centers have
lousy acoustics and they cost too much to rent.
Councillor Doug Thompson has championed our cause in the
past and availed the Town Hall. We are now paying rent but
not at the levels alternative facilities would demand.
And we love our space!
