Bison Theatre Needs an Ultra-Short Throw Projector!

Help me give my students a chance to be technologically up-to-date for their productions and on-stage competitions with an ultra-short throw projector that will allow them to include background projections in their plays and musicals.

My Project

Bison Theatre is a growing group with talented students in both performance and tech. One of the biggest disadvantages we face, especially in competition plays, but truly in all of our productions, is the ability to use projections. The use of projections would allow us to change our scenes quickly and seamlessly and would give tech a chance to focus more time and energy on other aspects of the production while also allowing them a chance to work on their design skills.

Cyc projections are becoming the norm in high school theatre, and Bison Theatre would love to be able to utilize this amazing bit of technology to make their hard work look even better.

The students would be able to create photos and graphic art to highlight the work of the performers onstage, and our productions would be able to move to a whole new level.
