Stagecraft puts Cwmbran’s Congress Theatre in Spotlight

Performances at The Congress Theatre in Cwmbran, Gwent are now in the spotlight after the recent completion of a £30,000 lighting refurbishment project managed by Stagecraft. Equipment installed by Stagecraft included two Selecon Pacific followspots, which are new to the industry this year, and are some of the first to be installed in the UK.

Martin Palmer from Stagecraft commented: “When working on all new projects it is important to assess the individual needs of a venue. The new lighting system at The Congress Theatre has been created to make maximum use of the performance space, whilst also being extremely versatile to fit with the many different productions at the theatre.”

The new followspots have been designed to incorporate the unique cooling system created by Selecon. This produces a cool beam of light and also directs the heat away from operational controls and lighting components. Martin continued: “The Pacific Followspots are ideally suited to venues such as The Congress. They are very flexible as lamp modules can be easily changed to meet throw requirements.”

Equipment installed at the theatre also includes a Zero 88 Illusion 500 lighting desk, Zero 88 Chilli Pro dimmers, Zero 88 Chilli Netmaster control panel, Zero 88 Chilli 10 button and 5 button replay panels, Selecon Pacific profile lanterns, Rosco Image Pro gobo units. etc.

Stagecraft’s sales and projects division supplies and installs equipment from all leading lighting and sound manufacturers to the educational, amateur and professional entertainment sectors. The live events and hire division produces conferences and exhibitions, as well as providing equipment and technical support for corporate events, festivals, parties and meetings in the UK and abroad.
