 Fenwick
Theatre houses the major productions
of the Department, dance concerts, and
other theatrical events and has a seating
capacity of 225. In the summer of 1996
a new 134 dimmer Strand
CD80 Supervisor Modular Dimmer System was installed. Over the next 5 years,
the department replaced its entire 175 unit theatrical lighting inventory with new Altman
fixtures.
In
January of 2002, the Sound System was
ugraded with new
EAW speakers and QSC amplifiers. The system is designed
for recording and playback of digital (CD) theatrical
sound effects and is equipped for 16 channel
wireless voice reinforcement.
In January of 2005,
the lighting control console in Fenwick Theatre was upgraded to an
ETC Express™ 48/96.
At the same time, The Pit was ugraded to a 72 dimmer
Strand CD80 Supervisor Modular Dimmer System with a GSX™ lighting control console.
A range of studio productions (directed by both faculty and students),
workshops, and classes take place in the Studio (O'Kane 481), The
Pit (O'Kane 37), and the Dance Studio
(O'Kane 28). Take a "virtual tour" through the use of VRML.
In September of 2006, a new sprung dance floor, the very latest
in dance floor technology, was installed in the Dance Studio. Developed by
Wooden Kiwi Productions LLC of Somerville, MA, the KIWI Floor™ system has
more give and spring to it, providing dancers with a safer surface that will ease wear and tear on a dancer's body.
The subfloor is covered by a gray Harlequin Tempo vinyl
dance floor covering.
Work on any department
production is open to all Holy Cross students,
faculty, and staff.
