Augmentation
Arrangements for the augmentation of the existing sound and lighting system can be made by the agreement of the Centrum Technical Director and/or Executive Director of the Community Center.

Additional lighting can be added through DMX and power.  Additional DMX outputs are located on both sides of the stage, on the first floor.  Wired microphones can also be added through the stage boxes located on the left, right, and rear of the stage.

House stage power and lighting configuration will accommodate complex lighting designs, but additional lighting instruments can only be attached to the cove or directly on the stage, as the above stage lighting is not available for modification.

Marley flooring can be brought in for acts involving dance.

Staging can be brought in at additional charge to extend the front depth of the stage by 6′.

The floor stage is oak; please make all efforts to try and keep from scratching.
