i just read up about the HIDEOUS organ…
MICKEY! You and the board CAN NOT allow that organ to be put back into the theatre. It needs to be put into a museum or something, HECK!, make a 7th street museum! spending $12,000 on something that will never be used is RIDICULOUS! The only thing that organ is good for, is being in the way and a HUGE eyesore! I’ve heard all the mumbo jumbo about how it will be used for silent movies, movies that NOBODY will go to. Barely anybody comes to the things that are playing nowadays anyway. This theatre and it’s board need to enter the 21st century and start bringing some entertainment that the WHOLE community will love, not just board…
I am a student at Hoquiam HIgh School and have been involved with the 7th street theatrea (including 7th street kids) for many years. I TOTALLY agree with everyone about the huge speakers. they are so worried about remodeling the place, yet they spend so much money on an unneeded sound system.I have to say that im not to fond of many of the people in charge, and that we need to get new people who actually know what they are doing on the board. I may only be a highscooler, BUT i do know ALOT about theatre and how things should be run. As for the lighting and sound booth… i see why they put it where they did. THe boothe up top is a projection booth. Not a lighting/sound booth. There didnt used to be a sound system, and the lighting used to be done backstage. The windows in the booth up top are one way mirrors and reflect very bad and you’re in a confined are, MEANING that if the lighting board was up there, the lighting designer could not see and if the sound board was up there, the sound designer would not be able to hear. As for that, that is just a fact that we will have to deal with. I do think once everything gets done that needs to be done, they need to extend the stage back to allow for more space backstage to do ACTUAL “Broadway Style” shows. We need more musical theatre shows in there besides 7th street kids because that is what attracts the HUGE Audiences. As of now, they plan on replacing the stage rigging after the 7th street kids show this summer (Seussical) since it hasn’t been replaced since the theatres opening and needs it badly. I KNOW! I hope to one day be like a John Yonich to the D&R theatre and come back and buy the theatre and restore its to it’s ORIGINAL beauty!
