The Phoenix Theatre upgrade is going well, expertly being carried out by David Ashton & his offsider Steve the Techie, from 'All Things Theatre' - as well as a couple of other Theatre techies - who are rather shy & choose to remain as anonymice!

With David's experience & his empirical skills & knowledge. We have gained the installing of a Trust Grid, to dead hang Light battens, Legs, borders, Cyc & Tab Tracking. {To over come the Archy tech leaving a ceiling over the stage - Unfortunately we can't have even a creative accident & design and drop a large stage weight to fall through the ceiling, so it would have to be removed. As there is a 20 odd foot roof void available as as a fly space above it. Because the 'Daffodil Man' has used the space to accommodate the Air Con units & this Archy tech even built a floor with a gyp rocked room to house them, above the stage ceiling - What a 'Wally'!}

Also David is fitting up 2 FOH Light bars & 2 Light battens over head on the stage. Along with 50+ Patch Box, which will give at least 10 Patch Circuits per light Bar & Batten.

Which also gives the opportunity to expand the patch system, to accommodate 'Dip Traps' on the stage, latter on!

There will also be a 4 way 'Talk Back' & SM control unit to be fitted up, as well as Audio equipment. Latter David will be making up the acoustic drapes 7& auto Pole system.

However ever if any theatre techies have nothing better to do, we will be there at the theatre, [Cnr Rockingham Rd & Carrington St Hamilton Hill - just turn left at Fremantle] from 10AM today. If you wish to lend a hand, you will be most welcome.

Everything always happens as once, as I'm moving house to Embleton over the next couple of week busy busy!
