The other question that came up is 4:3 movies to 16:9 movies. Are their optics that let you do both without climbing out to projector mounted to the ceiling to change the lense? |

There has been talk of the local indie theater renting the place to show movie's, so the thought of Digital Cinema is a big interest, although the budget isn't sure. They would like to be a little forward planning this time though. They already do movies there so licensing is known about, they go through the correct channels and get the rights. ETC. |

I just did 4 live musicals in a theater that is also used for movies. They actually use film projectors. But the thing I wanted to comment on is they sell your typical movie snacks (popcorn, soda, candy). What a mess this makes of the theater. People were spilling everything on the floor and on the seats. To clean up they were using an electric leaf blower to blow all of this mess to the front of the theater and into the pit. We had all of out amps and wireless receivers in the orchestra pit. I had to stop the person one day from blowing all of the junk around. I am saying all of this because it looks like you have a rally nice venue there and if they open it up to someone to use as a true movie theater you will want to keep the mess it can make in mind. I really hated sitting there and having my feet sticking to the floor when I tried to move them. |

They already do sell the same things. And Ironically they do the same thing with the leaf blower... after having to clean up without it I will tell you its much easier. But we don't blow it into the pit in the front (They're a 4ft pit under the floor in the front) No sticky floors here. they get mopped. if soda gets spilled. |

They also mop at the place I was doing these shows but the floor is still sticky. So I guess they just don’t do a good job mopping up. A person sitting 2 seats away from my mix position spilled an entire large cup of soda onto her chair totally soaking it. I told the person cleaning up afterwards and he did nothing at all about it. But then he started using the leaf blower and proceeded to blow all sorts of debris towards the mix position. I had to stop him and tell him not to do that. |
