Waxlax Center for the Performing Arts

With the main curtain fully open, the Waxlax Center stage has a 70-foot proscenium opening and a depth of over 45 feet. With 3-pairs of fully-adjustable black curtained legs, back curtain, white cyclorama, black scrim, white scrim, and a mid-stage traveler curtain, the Waxlax Center Stage is adjustable to create the intimacy for any event. Blue LED aisle lighting provides additional comfort and security.
The Waxlax Center provides 808 audience members with comfortable, unobstructed viewing of the stage. The naturally rich and precise acoustics can be augmented by a superior sound system that includes front and rear fill speakers with additional right and left sub-woofers. A front-of-house, safe, easily-accessible catwalk is equipped with 48 installed DMX-capable, twist-lock dimmers as well as Clear-com capability. The Technical Booth operates from a distance of 60-feet from the lip of the stage.
The Waxlax Stage floor is entirely a professionally sprung dance floor; both the varnished blonde maple thrust (11 x 70) and the black ¾ plywood floor (plaster line to rear wall) assure safety for professional dance troupes. Additionally, black flooring is available to cover the thrust in a uniform color to match the rear stage and can be painted any color to conform to creative vision.
A 19 high x 24wide motorized projection screen is permanently installed at the main curtain line where it can be discreetly hidden when not in use. From the technical booth, a Proxima projector with computer/internet/DVD/ VHS/live television projection capabilities delivers a clear picture with equalized adjustable sound. Presenters have the ability to control their own projections from the floor with the use of a computer tablet or Logitech Bluetooth cordless remote.
The Waxlax Center is equipped with an open booth where a sound engineer can mix on a DDA CS8 32 Channel Console. Lighting is controlled by a Strand 520i Light Board with Lightpallete software. On either side of the center room are two separate booths where spotlight operators can communicate thru Clearcom as they operate two SGM Newton Live/200 spotlights. Additionally, 2 Panasonic AW-E300 Cameras with recording capabilities can provide a live stage television feed to the lobby and backstage dressing rooms and crossover.
The Waxlax Center is equipped with 2 large chorus dressing areas (26.5 x 16) with 2 sinks, a single toilet, and drinking fountain in each. Shower facilities are available in a closely adjoined building.
Chorus dressing rooms are of ample size for comfortably holding the costumes and equipment for 20 actors. All dressing rooms have audio and video monitoring of the live stage and microwave & compact refrigerators can be placed in any dressing room backstage.
The working Waxlax Technical shop and ground-floor load-in are located to the rear of stage left. The technical shop is fully equipped (table saw, jigsaw, Dewalt Power tools, air compressor, etc) and can be available for renters on request.
