Cupar Amateur Musical Society (CAMS) and
Cupar Youth Musical Theatre (CYMT) put on their shows their
performances within Cupar Corn Exchange. The CAMS annual
show takes place in the first week of February whilst the CYMT
annual show takes place mid November. CAMS also put on a
fund raiser in May each year. To keep costs down,
rehearsals are usually outwith the Corn Exchange until a month
or so to go at which time cast and crew get a weekly rehearsal
on stage.
The use of hired in DMX controlled lighting
fixtures for Hello Dolly opened eyes to the benefits of modern
lighting technology... a bit of a jump from the 1970's lighting
fixtures, which still serve well. However having been
accustomed to operating 24 channels/circuits there was a bit of
a learning curve dealing with new LED fixtures which were using
anything between 7 and 14 channels per fixture. Currently
we use around 330 channels... way beyond the capabilities of our
Strand 200 console. Hence the move to using QLC+ running
on computer. Another learning curve... but at least a lot
of the scenes and cues plotting can be devised and programmed in
the comfort of home...
