Theatrical Lighting Assistance For Hilliard Davidson High School

Robert Nelson Vance, owner or proVanceTek, received a phone call asking if we had any availability to help prepare the Hilliard Davidson Performing Arts Center for a touring show to be brought in by the Hilliard Arts Council this weekend.

Five By Design, a touring, Minneapolis-based, vocal quintet sent Hilliard Davidsona technical rider that required a significant number of lighting instruments to be hung and focused before they arrived.

We worked with the Hilliard Davidson High School Technical Director to hang and focus a GI (general illumination) light plot for the upcoming school related events. Then we hung and focused the specials that were required for the touring show.

We should make note that this is usually work that's entirely done by high school students as a part of the Hilliard Davidson technical theatre program. Unfortunately, due to time restraints and the number of other programs to schedule around, this technical work needed to be done quickly and precisely. Infact, Hilliard Davidson has hosted a number of touring Broadway shows over the years, where stagehand positions have always been entirely staffed by students. This time, however, there simply wasn't enough time available for this to be another educational experience for the students - hence why we were contacted.
