Sound
The theatre has a full performance PA professionally designed and installed by Pacific Audio Works, Victoria. It is capable of supporting any theatrical, musical or multimedia production. There is a 24 channel mixing console, 24 channel snake onstage and 2 monitor mixes from FOH. A wide selection of mics is available to compliment all types of events.
Lights
Chosen with versatility in mind, the current show consists of approximately 100 different instruments. There are 96 channels. The Dimmer controller is an ETC 24/48 Expressions Console. Its versatile combination of fader-familiar two-scene presets and pushbutton programmability means it is very accessible. Under the direction of the Technical Manager, those new to board operation will find it is an easy system to master. There are stage and front of house lighting positions and a newly installed lighting position above the stage apron.
Projection
A front of house position permanently houses a video projector. This projector can be used for theatrical production, multi media presentations, lectures, power point presentations and web casts. A fully operational podium console, complete with lights and a microphone, makes it easy for speakers to operate the system. Above the apron of the stage is an electrically operated 12x12 front projection screen.
Intercom
A newly installed backstage intercom system will make communication with all technicians and back stage easy. A front of house console has also been installed for ease of opening and closing the house.
Drapes
The regal red Main Drape of the Charlie White Theatre is a traveler. It is hand operated from a stage left position. Various sized black legs and teasers can be moved to appropriate positions by the Technical Manager. The theatre has a brand new cyclorama.
