Black Light was a key player in the revamp of the studio theatre at the Maltings Theatre in Berwickupon-Tweed. Working to a very tight deadline, we provided a full package of light and AV equipment to turn an un-equipped rehearsal space - the Henry Travers Studio - into a fully-functioning professional studio theatre.

Key Details:

Service Type: Installations

Sector: Performance VenuesLive Entertainment 

Completion: March 2011

Client: The Maltings

What we did

• Reviewed the plans to refurbish the 100-seat Henry Travers Studio.

• Selected and procured a full package of high-quality lighting, sound, AV and curtain equipment to fulfill the client’s brief.

• Provided a comprehensive installation service. This was done as part of an overall refurbishment programme which saw the Henry Travers Studio transformed into a state of the art ‘black box’ studio theatre and cinema.

• From the point of order to the point of project completion, the timescale for the work was around four weeks – including resource scheduling, design completion and procurement.

Result

We were able to deliver a cost-effective solution that met the technical specifications and timescale demanded by the theatre. Four weeks of intensive work resulted in the creation of a wonderfully intimate new studio space. Thanks to its revamp the Henry Travers Studio will now be available for around 90 additional music, theatre and dance performances annually, as well as digital cinema screenings.

Feedback

“Black Light did a superb job, they were courteous and professional to deal with, and the finish they achieved was exactly to the specifications we demanded. The new Henry Travers Studio is a beautiful room, which delivers the flexibility we wanted as well as looking like a high-quality theatre space. We love it.”
