What refers to any area in the theatre where the audience is seated?

This area contains that are part of a stage but offstage.

In this area the wings are typically separated using drapes.

It is used for performers preparing to enter, storage of sets for slow changes, and as a stagehand work area.

These rooms are where cast members apply wigs, makeup, and change into costumes.

This room is considered the "lounge backstage." This is the room where actors and other performers wait in when they are not needed onstage or in their dressing rooms.

This contains a fly system which is a system of ropes, counterweights, pulleys, and other such tools designed to allow a technical crew to quickly move set pieces, and lights on and off stage quickly by 'flying' them in from a large opening above the stage known as a fly tower/flyspace.

Theatre may use this area to store old scenic. In these areas each element of the show is constructed and prepared for each production.

This section of the theatre is designated for the operation of technical equipment, followspots, lighting and sound boards, and is sometimes the location of the stage manager's station. It is located in the theatre in such a way that there is a good, unobstructed view of the playing area without causing any (or minimal) distraction to the audience (i.e. preventing distracting light leak or noise), and is generally an enclosed space.

This is an elevated platform from which many of the technical functions of a theatre, such as lighting and sound, may be manipulated.

This is the portal that divides the audience from the stage.

What are the 5 basic stage directions?

In musical productions where live music is required is positioned in front and below of this. Some have lifts or elevators that can raise the floor up to the same height as the stage. This allows for easier movement of instruments among other things. Often it will be equipped with a removable cover which provides safety by eliminating the steep drop off and also increases the available acting area above.

What were the three types of lighting used in the Theater during the Industrial Revolution?

Who is responsible for the artistic design of a production?

Does the lighting designer participate in the actual performances of a production?

Who takes the lighting designer‘s design and directs the hanging, gelling, focusing, and cabling of the instruments needed.

Frequently, the master electrician operates the board during shows.

Who are the people on ladders hanging/adjusting lighting instruments, finding gels, or walking around the stage during focus. They also plug in the instruments and cable them very neatly.

This fixture is a type of stage lighting instrument named for the ellipsoidal reflector used to collect and direct light through a barrel that contains a lens or lens train. It can

be used with gels/gobos to project different colors or designs.

This fixture is a general purpose stage lighting fixture that can adjust from a sharpedged focused beam to a soft, diffused light with shutters. It also has features to hold

patterns and gels.

This fixture is used for a wash of light similar to that of a PAR can. The colors they give off are usually RGB (red, green blue). It requires 3 DMX512 channels to control it, one channel per color. The beam size, like a PAR can, is not adjustable. Each fixture has an “address” which can be set on the fixture, and tells each unit what control channels from the lighting board to respond to.

This fixture is a self-contained lamp, parabolic reflector, and lens combined in one unit. To change field size, you change the lamp.

Typical field sizes are:

Very Narrow Spot (VNSP)

Narrow Spot (NSP)

Medium Flood (MFL)

Wide Flood (WFL)

These fixtures are designed to be manually operated, allowing the electrician to light a performer, with an intense, controllable beam, around the stage. They should be bright

enough to "cut through" the existing stage lighting.

In a Follow Spotlight what controls the size of the light beam?

In a Follow Spotlight what allows the operator to change the color of the beam?

This fixture's body is stationary with a light that is reflected by a mirror, which redirects the light by panning and tilting?

This unit works by moving the entire fixture body. These fixtures may be "spot" fixtures, which are more tightly controlled, or "wash" fixtures, which are designed to cover (usually using several fixtures) a large area.

What is the movement of the field from side to side. Many fixtures have two of these channels: one for coarse movement and one for finer, more precise, settings.

What is the movement of the field up and down. Many fixtures have two of these channels.

In an automated fixture what is mounted on a wheel? Some fixtures have more than one, allowing the user to overlap two of them. Some may be continuously rotatable.

What may be controlled electronically, in the case of fixtures using incandescent lamps, or mechanically, in the case of fixtures using gas-discharge lamps?

What fixture(s) produce a very broad, asymmetrical, wash of light used to light cyc-orama and scenery from as high as 25 feet.?

What are the 2 types of cyc lights used in a theater setting?

This is the main support for the light. It connects the light to the C-clamp.

Where the yoke connects to the light, there is a piece that controls its movement. By loosening this piece, the lighting instrument can cast light in many different areas and

at different angles. What is this piece?

All ellipsoidals in the LHS PAC use these for power and all the plugs in the dimmer boxes are wired for them. These connectors have three gold colored pins, two sit close together and a gap runs in-between the third.

Over time the pins on the stage pin connectors lose their hold. This is because the pin is a cylinder with a slit about half way down it and over time the two halves of the pin

get pushed together. To correct this, what instrument should be used?

There have been times when lighting electricians have needed to plug in instruments that do not have stage pin adapters. Because of this, what would be used instead?

What item is used for keeping the instrument on a batten/pipe? It also controls some of

the movements of the instrument.

What small bolt on a C-clamp, when loosened, allows the C-clamp to swivel and move up and down?

What item is "first on" when hanging a fixture and "last off" when removing a fixture?

What 4 items on an Ellipsoidal Source 4 help to manipulate the light beam? They help distort the light beam in many different ways and create various shapes, for example

squares, triangles, and half moons. They slide in and out of a light fixture.

What is the piece of polymer that is colored and when mounted in a color frame can change the color of the beam emitted from the instrument.
