Good Company alumnus lights up Roger Rocka's

Clint Higham, a Good Company alumnus from the late 1980s who went on to found a powerhouse artist management firm in Nashville, Tenn., donated $250,000 worth of state-of-the-art lighting and sound equipment to the company. The haul includes dozens of new stationary lights, 12 color-blaster LED units, two of those ultra-fancy moving lights that you see on national tours, 12 new headset microphones and a complete revamp of the speaker system at Roger Rocka's Dinner Theater.

"It's all a dream," says Pessano,This combination r4 販売 light and noisemaker is... who explains the donation vaults the theater from 1980s technology to the present day.

Some of the new equipment was in place by the opening of "Legally Blonde," currently on stage at Roger Rocka's.Has anyone had any experience with this led light bulbs light? The rest was in place by the second week of the run.

I attended opening night of "Blonde" and came back two weeks later to check out the new equipment. Can you tell a difference? You bet. The sound was superb. And the lighting was on a whole other level in terms of texture and nuance.

An example: the song "So Much Better," which closes the first act, has several emotional shifts and mood changes as Elle (Emily Pessano) first contemplates the news that her great love is marrying someone else – and then learns that she won a coveted Harvard Law internship. Changes in lighting mirror these emotional shifts.

And even on the shallow Roger Rocka's stage, the new lighting equipment adds a depth to the scene that's never been there before.

Pessano says that the new lights – some of which will soon be installed at the 2nd Space Theatre across the street – offer far more flexibility in terms of colors, effects and zoom capability. A bonus: The LED lights create very little heat on stage and use less electricity.

Higham arranged for three of his colleagues, led by David Haskell, to travel to Fresno for a three-day installation. Even a small venue such as Roger Rocka's has to be carefully calibrated in terms of speaker placement so that both the audience and cast can hear the music at the same time.

"We're able to make the sound cleaner than it's ever been," Pessano says.
