The Tred Avon Players' Modernization Campaign!

Curtain

Help us create the magic!

Theatre is so much more than just actors on a stage. So much of a show's feel and mood comes from lighting and sound. Lightning and thunder, or the sun setting slowly by the ocean, or a mysterious fog rolling in as eerie music plays.

At TAP productions we make that magic happen as best we can with what we have. Help us make 21st century magic with a donation to our modernization campaign.

Your donation buys much needed equipment.

Sound Equipment

SoundboardShakespeare's Globe Theatre in London used a cannon inside its roof to herald great entrances or, along with fireworks, the sounds of battle.

Mic & Walkie TalkieUnfortunately, the cannon started a fire that burned the Globe to the ground in 1613. Other Shakepearean sound effects (SFX) include musical instruments, actors who could howl like animals and a metal sheet or rolling cannonball for thunder!

SFX are now mostly electronic, and along with high tech sound systems make it possible for TAP to bring you top-flight original and Broadway musicals. You could make that happen with a donation toward a new sound board ($3,000), walkie-talkies, or microphones.

Lighting Equipment

LightboardIn 1803, "limelight" became the first spotlight: limestone burned in a flame gave off bright, greenish light. Today, inventions like halogen lamps and computer technology make lighting an art form that unites plot, costume, scenery and all other facts of production.

LightingHelp TAP make 21st century magic by a donation to our modernization campaign. You can help buy us a new piece of sorely needed lighting equipment.

We need a new light board ($2,500), gels, wiring, and lights for the stage ($4,000 each).

Every donation helps our goal!
