Digital Projector Campaign

For #GivingTuesday 2019, we launched a campaign to obtain our own digital projector!

Digital Scenery is also known as video projection technology. You’ve probably seen it already with many of the larger touring shows that have come through town, and a few local places are using it on a smaller scale. Theatre Huntsville wants to add this to our arsenal, so we can use projections for shows such as the March production of Silent Sky.

Projections don’t replace scenery, but enhance it. We can add texture and movement to walls and drops, create locales that would be otherwise inaccessible for a small stage, such as the Von Braun Center Playhouse. Much in the same way the Romans added hydraulics to drop mountains and flood the stage or the how Greeks studied the science of architectural acoustics, theatre has been constantly changing since the day it was invented. We just want to keep up!

Our goal is $15,000 for the projector, mounting equipment and training for our technicians. The equipment is an investment not only in Theatre Huntsville and our mission, but will be available for the entire arts community.

We hope you will join us on this exciting journey into the future. The first step is here!
