Tim Edwards Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Hi All, I'm after the lighting specs and plans for the Adrian Mann Theatre in Ewell, Epsom. Before some wise-arse asks- I've contacted the venue but had no response. I can't find any info on the website either. If you have done a show there or have any useful info that would be great. Thanks in advance, Tim
Pattern123 Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Wow, that's a blast from the past! The Adrian Mann Theatre is part of NESCOT (North East Surrey College of Technology) in the dim and distant past I did a year teaching Technical Theatre there one day a week working for Edwina Porter (Whom I see they have named a studio space after). It was basically a large School Hall with a Stage along one side, there were some Hemps and Lighting Bars (Possibly on Hand Winches, I seem to remember rigging on stage). Looks from photos on Google as if they now have some retractable or even permanent raked seating. Pretty basic set-up when I was there, lots of classic Strand lanterns and I think a manual desk at the time, or possibly a Tempus M24 which didn't work as well? I'm afraid my memory doesn't extend much beyond that. Sorry it's all a bit antique!
dbuckley Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 NESCOT ... Tempus M24Good lord! thats awoken a memory - I've done a show in that venue, and it was that very M24 that I fell in love with controlling lights via something like a computer, rather than a big thing with lots of faders... Back then it had eight Strand six channel dimmer packs up on the wall in the control room... But this is a loooong time ago

Amy Worrall Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I have the same question… anyone know the current state of things here?
Amy Worrall Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Got in touch with the venue, they sent me a plan. Looks a lot more modern these days. Desk is ETC Element.
MarcT Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 I was going to say I've been there recently, then realised it was about 10 years ago!At that time, those Tempus dimmer racks were still there (run from a D54 Demux), and the desk was a Strand LBX. I'd heard they were going to knock it down, but glad to hear it's still there...
d_korman Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 Those racks are still there now but there are more mounted below. I do three or four shows a year there. Building for the next one right now.
