The Theatre has been Waterford's main centre of culture and entertainment since the mid Seventies, providing the region with a varied programme of professional and community-based music, drama, dance, variety, pantomime and other live productions.
DBL's Dirk Baumann was appointed to re-design the existing lighting grid and provide a much more flexible system to suit the theatre's current and future needs. Once the lanterns, grid and dimming were in place, Baumann was also asked to specify a more powerful console to make the most of the new lighting infrastructure.
The Theatre has purchased a Vista T2 console for its new house desk, which was supplied by LX2000 to DBL, who then installed it. Baumann has also purchased a T2 for his own rental. The first show to utilise the new desk was an award-winning production of Into The Woods.
