Stage Electrics has supplied the Lyric Theatre, in Carmarthen, Wales, which is part of the Carmarthen Theatre’s Group, with a lighting control upgrade alongside additional staging.

The theatre was seeking a lighting control solution that offered professional grade programming power, along with the ability to integrate into other systems, making transitioning between desks simple.

“ETC’s Ion Xe was the obvious choice for the Lyric Theatre” commented Neal Tomlinson, technical sales consultant at Stage Electrics. “We sought out a solution that offered flexibility, whilst being able to work coherently with the grade of fixtures coming through the venue. This theatre hosts a number of touring shows, so compatibility was a must.”

Looking to further expand its offerings to touring shows, in terms of space, the theatre has invested in a Prolyte LiteDeck staging system, so the theatre can now offer extended stage and catwalk solutions for shows using the venue.

Carmarthen Theatre’s Group are a part of Carmarthenshire County Council’s leisure department and they manage three performing arts venues within the county, with an aim to make participation in the arts available to all.
