SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. – A $5,000 grant to Friends of the Midwest Theater from the Oregon Trail Community Foundation helped the Midwest Theater develop its capacity to attract top-notch artists to western Nebraska with upgraded stage lighting and up-to-date sound capacity.
The Midwest Theater’s new stage lighting control system enables remote adjustment of lighting, including the ability to change the color of the lighting, which is a feature that high-level performing artists expect. However, the theater’s existing incandescent stage lights were single-color only.
Midwest Theater Executive Director Billy Estes said the lack of color adjustment capabilities created difficulty in meeting the needs of the high-level artists the theater has been booking.
