Three rounds and a sound system Call for
ASTORIA — The Liberty Theatre has
been awarded the third and final grant
needed to purchase and install a perma-
nent sound system in the theater.
Pacific Power Foundation has award-
ed the Liberty the remaining $4,000 for
the project. This will be combined with
the previous awards of $22,000 by the
James F and Marion L Miller Foundation
and $15,000 from the Oregon Communi-
ty Foundation.
The theater currently pays between
$1,000 and $1,500 per event to rent an
adequate sound system for Liberty-pre-
sented performances. Those systems
often add hours of setup and tear-down
time before and after each event, stress-
ing our small staff. Outside promoters
have to rent or bring their own sound
system for their shows. This not only
greatly impacts our budget but often
results in patron and artist complaints
about the inconsistency of sound from
event to event.
Having our own sound system that
meets the unique design of the Liberty
means we can control sound quality, train
engineers in-house and provide consistent,
optimum experiences for our patrons.
Engineers have been brought in to
model and study the acoustics of the
theater and will provide assistance in
the purchase and installation of the
system.
