It helps to look at things from the audience perspective when planning performance spaces!

Angie and Chris check the lighting install before focus during a site visit at Northwestern University’s Pick-Staiger Hall.

It’s always a fun time when we have a big crew together! Earlier this month some of our Lighting Design and Theatre Planning team made a trip to Tennessee for a site visit.

Did you know that stage rigging systems require annual inspection by an ETCP-certified rigging inspector? @USITT’s Rigging Safety Initiative offers a chance for a free inspection and safety training for secondary schools in America.

I got to spend Tuesday catching my first glimpse into what the renovated home for @slso is going to feel like. It was cool to see the relics of what the hall has seen over its lifetime. Photo 2 shows the row numbers from the original seating that were hidden under the flooring.

[Christopher Sprague @CSprague_SSI]

How cool is this? It's always great to see our clients finding ways to repurpose and reuse things as part of their renovation projects. How fun that some of these famous red seats will live on across the street! #SSTheatre @schulershook
