Texas Theatre Exchange has been created in hopes that Texas Theatre Educators can use this space as a hub for trading ideas, costumes and props. We all work too hard on too little budget! Let's work together for the beterment of our craft!

TECH TALK
We all have technical issues we just can't seem to figure out. Use this area to ask questions, and hopefully someone will have a helpful suggestion!
This might seems silly, but I just used a paper box top and cut slits in it. I placed large thumb tacks in the slits and the students could slide them up and down to understand how a light board works. Happy hunting for a better solution! Brie Carlson SCMS Drama Crowley, TX
You don't say where you are, but I have an old Dove 6 channel, 2 scene preset board/dimmer combo that I would be willing to let you borrow after UIL season. The dimmers are built into the unit, so you could actually plug some lights into it. These things were very popular with high schools once upon a time, so there maybe someone in your area that has one as well.

I am thinking about doing Wizard of Oz this fall in my middle school cafetorium. Does anyone in the DFW area have scenery or costumes I can borrow or rent? Or even just suggestions? Brie Carlson Summer Creek MS Crowley, TX
I have a brand new Smart Module that I can't use in my theatre. I won it at the convention and have never used it. The asking price is, $500.00, and you can contact me through my cell at, 903-603-1681.

I am looking for an nonworking A/B lightboard on which to teach my kids how to do the lights as we have an antiquated lightning system.

Thanks for your help. I am in New London, located between Kilgore & Henderson & would love to borrow the light board.
