Since opening its doors, Hale Centre Theatre (HCT) has continuously produced performances, including traditional Broadway and off-Broadway plays, musicals, and more. HCT’s Young Living Centre Stage is a theater in the round, with the stage centralized in the venue. As a result, HCT’s tech team relies heavily on lighting effects for the spectacular musicals that it produces. The venue upgraded to a new zactrack SMART system, a plug-and-play automated follow system for stage lighting, sound and video effects.
HCT’s tech team relies heavily on lighting effects for the musicals that it produces. In many cases, lighting also helps enhance the stage sets. Among the many requirements of HCT’s lighting system is the need to track actors in flying sequences, which is a common way for actors to enter and leave a theater in the round. That's where the zactrack SMART system comes into play.
