Capital Project: Replace Audio Equipment at The Schoolhouse

DESCRIPTION

This project will replace the audio equipment that is broken, malfunctioning or at the end of its useful life at the Schoolhouse Theater.

PURPOSE/DISCUSSION

The Schoolhouse Theater audio inventory is all second-hand from the PACE Center. It is past its useful lifespan and either beginning to malfunction or is currently in disrepair. This project will create an audio inventory specific to the Schoolhouse Theatre that will better support the shows and events currently programmed in that space as well as allow for expansion of that programming.

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 the most affordable price.
