Tulsa
Performing Arts Center
This is where we do a lot of our work and where three of our members hold
house staff positions. We also think it's a great example of a beautifully
equipped theater and a nice place to work.

Widely regarded as one of the finest opera companies in the U.S. Need

What's
a Limelight?
No doubt you've heard the saying: "...in the limelight."
Check out this short article by John H. Lienhard. The limelight actually
preceded the carbon arc and was the early predecessor to the modern follow
spotlight.
Martin
Hart's American Widecsreen Museum
A great resource for information on past motion picture widescreen processes
such as CinemaScope, VistaVision, etc.
Film-Tech
Home Page
Information on motion picture projection systems, lamphouses, platter
systems and theatrical sound. Also has a great PDF document library.
Yamaha
Professional Audio
Manufacturer of audio consoles and a myriad of sound-related products
used in theater, television and motion pictures. Yamaha is the OEM for
the versatile PM5D digital sound console, which is installed in the PAC's
Williams Theater.
Strong
International
For us "old-time" stagehands, we still think of them as Strong
Electric. While their current spotlight line will never compare to their
now obsolete carbon arc Strong Super Trouper, they still manufacture the
spotlights that are most often found in entertainment venues. Four of
their Gladiator II's are used in the Tulsa Performing Arts Center and
the new BOK Arena utilizes eight of the Gladiator III's and 4 Xenon Super's.
Tom
Baldwin's Stage Lighting Tech Pages
A good Internet starting point for a variety of stage lighting-related
links. While it's geared to the European lighting professional, there
is still a wealth of information therein.
Rosco
Labs and Lee
Filters
Ever wonder how we make colored light or put those pretty patterns on
the stage? These two companies supply the vast majority of color filters
and patterns (we call 'em gobo's) used in entertainment.
ETC
(Electronic Theater Controls)
These guys make probably the finest theatrical lighting instruments in
the world. You can witness their versatility and quality in all theater
spaces at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center.
Altman
Stage Lighting Company
Another big manufacturer of theatrical lighting equipment and systems.
Tools
for Stagecraft
A lot of us in theater use some weird and unique tools. Many can be found
here.
Strand
When the houselights dim and the stage lights go up, there's often a Strand
lighting console involved in the magic.
Clear-Com
These folks make the intercom systems that we use in entertainment.
Cinema
Treasures.org
A great website
with mountains of information about the movie palaces of old and theaters
past and present.
Chauvet
Lighting
"LEDs"
or Light Emitting Diodes have been around for a long time but in the past
few years, the technology has grown exponentially both in types produced
and application. They are now found on an ever-increasing basis in entertainment
lighting and Chauvet is one, among many, of the manufacturers that produce
LED fixtures.
