🎭🌟 Exciting news! 🌟 We have been awarded £20,000 from the @TheatresTrust to upgrade our stage lighting to lower their environmental impact! 🌿🔆 This upgrade will not only save energy costs and reduce our carbon footprint, but also enhance the experience for audiences and artists. 🌟 Dave Thwaites, Technical Manager at Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds said: “As part of our ongoing strategy to identify improvements to make our building more energy efficient, we have identified the need to replace our ageing lighting rig. This project would provide us with the capital to make an immediate ‘quick win’ energy efficiency adaptation, that will endure, and, when the full lighting rig is replaced, it will ensure a minimum saving of over £30,000 annually, along with an annual saving of around £2000 on lamp replacements, so is key to our future sustainability.” “Theatre Royal is committed to developing environmentally sustainable practices. We want our unique, Grade-I listed building to be a fusion of historic architecture and cutting-edge technology. These new LED lanterns will not only give our artists the very best tools to work with, they will also reduce our energy costs and our carbon footprint.” – @Owencl, Artistic Director at Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds.
