Capital Project: Replacement of Moving Lights in PACE Mainstage Theater

Description

This project is the purchase of new moving light fixtures to replace discontinued, non-functioning and failing existing fixtures.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION

The moving lights used in the PACE Mainstage, an integral component of the lighting system, are discontinued, past their useful lifespan, are either non-functioning or beginning to fail and are no longer repairable. This is a multi-year replacement plan to ensure the continued functionality of this component of the lighting system.

Impact On Operating Costs

Replacing failing fixtures reduces repair costs.

Having state-of-the-art lighting technology allows us to attract better quality touring groups for our presented season, and a higher level of clientele interested in renting our theater, which results in increased revenues for the department.

Town Strategic Goals Achieved

Enhance Economic Vitality

Parker Arts is a critical component of a vibrant downtown. It offers events, classes, and shows year-round which bring patrons downtown to eat and shop.

Foster Community Creativity and Engagement

The theater provides a performance space for a number of local arts groups (e.g., Parker Chorale, Inspire Creative and the Parker Symphony Orchestra) and provides a pathway for community members to take an active role in the arts.

Innovate with Collaborative Governance

As the premier cultural entity for Douglas County and beyond, we collaborate with creative partners, Town departments, organizations from across the state, and vendors from around the country to deliver the most innovative programming and engaging experiences at affordable prices.
