Designs
Initial designs for converting the donated garage into a performance
and cultural center are now in preparation. The aim of the design is
to overcome the difficulties of the past, arising from holding PACA
events in cafeterias, gymnasiums, and classrooms, by providing a dedicated
facility that is appropriate for the performance and exhibition needs
of the whole community, and is not subject to conflicts with school
or community functions. Specific aims are:
-
Good
acoustics for performances
-
A
quiet environment with adequate heating and cooling
-
Adequate and comfortable seating for the size of our community
-
An
adequate stage area
-
Provision for a box office
-
A backstage area with adequate dressing rooms
-
Space for visual arts displays and exhibitions
-
Adequate
lighting and electrical power
-
Adequate
bathroom facilities
-
Good
quality sound equipment
-
Storage
space for props and costumes
