Have you ever been to a play at a theater and wondered about the lights, curtains, or set pieces? Have you ever been to a live concert and wondered how the sound system or the backstage areas work? Now's your chance to find out!
Join us at 9:30 am on Friday, February 20, 2015 for a guided tour of the Fine Arts Center at Iowa Western Community College. The tour will include visits to music and technical theater classrooms, the scene shop where large set pieces are constructed, the innovative and modular Black Box Theater, and the main theater and stage including backstage operations areas, lighting systems, fly rail system, sound booth, spotlight system, and more.
Most guests who attend plays or concerts never get to see the behind-the-scenes areas and equipment that make those performances possible. Come learn how a busy, working theater really operates!
More info about the Arts Center can be found here. Driving directions to campus are here, and a campus map is available here. Follow Iowa Western Blvd. all the way around to Parking Lot 32 on the map.
IWCC classes will be in recess for staff development on the day of the field trip, so parking should be plentiful. You can park near the main front entrance to the Fine Arts Center (pictured above), and gather in the main lobby to begin the tour.
There is no charge for parking or for the tour, but we do need to ask that you please use the form below to RSVP by 2 pm on Wednesday, February 18, so that we have a decent head count. We hope to see you then!
