Sets are made in our own well equipped scene shop and VectorWorks Spotlight and Lightwright are the software standards at the Bickford. Our lighting inventory of over 200 instruments and 120 dimmers allows for a lot of creative flexibility in lighting design. Sound and video are the fastest growing technical areas of the theater.
