John Anthony Theatre

Stage
A traditional proscenium stage with an opening of 36'-6" wide by 24'-0" high. Note: The positioning of the first beam effectively reduces the usable proscenium height to 21'-0". The stage itself is approximately 62'-6" wide (wall to wall) and 30'-0" deep ( Plaster line to "back wall"). Wing space consists of 13'-0" stage right and 10'-0" stage left. The grid is at +64'-0".

The John Anthony Theatre has a total seating capacity of 350, with 230 seats on the Orchestra Level and 120 seats on the Balcony Level. There is access to the stage from the house via side stage wings on house left and house right. 

Rigging
There are 45 line sets on 7" centers; battens are picked up at 5 points over a 55' batten length. The lock rail is located at stage level on stage left. Lines 6 and 17 have permanently mounted sound shells; lines 8 and 41 have permanently mounted side battens; and lines 11, 24 and 35 are electrics. A limited number of drop boxes are available should electrics be required on other line sets. The maximum capacity of our arbors is 1100 pounds. A pin rail is also available. A soft good inventory and information on the line set organization may be found on this page.

Lighting
A Strand 520i console controls our 269 dimmer per circuit system. There are 216 2.4K dimmers and six 6K dimmers. Dimmers 223 through 269 control the house and environmental lighting. The light booth is located at the rear of the house on the Orchestra Level. There are also two 2K Super Trouper xenon follow spots located at the rear of the house, above the Balcony Level. When using a Lighting plot other than our house plot, please send us a copy so that its specific requirements can be discussed. In addition, two separate 200 amp, 208V/120 VAC 3 phase, 5 wire disconnects are available on stage right. A lighting specials inventory is also available.  Click here to view photos taken during the 2004 Jazz Camp.
