Lighting & Sound Seminar

May 17, 2025 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Old Courthouse Theatre
49 Spring St. NW, Concord, NC 28025

A discussion of Lighting and sound techniques and equipment for small to medium size theatre spaces


On May 17th, MTA will be inviting a panel of experts to discuss two all-important aspects of any theatrical production: SOUND and LIGHTING. As we all know, the best script, the finest actors, and the most exquisite sets don't count for much if an audience can't see or hear what's going on. We'll be bringing together technical veterans from different companies around the Metrolina region to discuss all aspects of their craft and the best practices that can help your theatre company bring out the best in sight and sound for all of its shows!

The program will consist of a four hour panel, from 9 am to 1 pm on Saturday, May 17th. Keep an eye out on our social media, where panelists will be announced in the coming weeks!

Whether you have an established space with dedicated rigs and control boards, or whether you're a company that has to load-in and set up tech anew for every performance, we hope you'll come out for this great opportunity of discussion and knowledge sharing!

For MTA members, there is no charge for attendance; theater companies with current MTA membership can also designate two attendees at no charge. For nonmembers, there will be a $15.00 fee (whether attending one panel or both). Lunch is not provided, but guests are encouraged to visit one of the many local restaurants Concord has to offer!

Panelists to be announced.
