Tomcat Equipment for Children’s Theatre Company Minneapolis
This fall the Children's Theatre Company opens its Cargill Stage to the theatre going public. The new stage provides an additional performance space for the Minneapolis Theatre Company with flexible seating for up to 300. Patrons will enjoy state of the art productions, thanks in part to Tomcat equipment.
When designing the new facility, Children's Theatre Company wanted the lighting options to be as flexible as the seating. Working with the Tomcat design team, they could accomplish just that.
The order included 65 pieces of medium duty truss (45 - 15' sections, 12 - 5' sections and 8 - 4’ sections) with asexual spigots. Of course, these truss sections can be configured in a number of ways, however an extra flexibility is provided by the corner blocks designed with custom-made, spigoted truss attachment brackets (TABs).
In addition to the truss, the order included 36 Columbus McKinnon 1-ton Model L chain hoists and two CM 500-pound Prostars. All of the Model L hoists came equipped with trolleys which allow them to move easily along the main building beams as needed.
This set-up gives Children's Theatre Company a tremendous amount of flexibility in its new space for a variety of upcoming productions for the young and young at heart.
