ETC: Wisconsin Theatre Puts ETC Congo Kid to the Test
The Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield, Wisconsin – a venue supporting arts programs in area schools and local artists – has employed ETC lighting solutions in its theatre spaces for the last decade. The complex caters to a broad range of events, from high school musicals and student orchestra recitals, to dance productions and cabaret acts. To provide the best possible lighting for each performance or special event, the technical staff uses a range of ETC lighting control consoles. The Wilson Center also became the first venue to use ETC's newest lighting control console, Congo Kid.
ETC is always looking for beta test sites around the world. When opportunities for tests of new products become available, ETC announces them on the product forums at www.etcconnect.com/Community.
