For over 60 years, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park has presented masterful theater performances and has consistently expanded its commitment to its patrons from Greater Cincinnati and those who come from far and wide to experience its wide-ranging programming.
With the installation of Clear-Com 's Arcadia Central Station, FreeSpeak Edge , and FreeSpeak II Wireless Intercom Systems as part of their 2023 expansion, the multiple Tony Award-winning facility has increased its ability to communicate fluently across its entire campus.
Following a large capital-raising campaign, the Playhouse just opened a new building in March. It was a total campus renovation, explains Aaron Stephenson, A/V Supervisor for the Playhouse. It was a big investment for the build, but also [for] the technology needed to make it functional.
Aaron explains that the large, nonprofit theater frequently aspires to transition shows to Broadway, and has won a Tony Award for a show they successfully transitioned to New York. Because of this, they needed a backstage communication system that could handle very different needs for productions ranging from dramas, jukebox musicals and farces to big Broadway shows with a 26-person cast and 20-person orchestra.
We need to be able to facilitate communication between all of those, Aaron says. And we often have specific channels where you have one team talking about one thing and another team talking about another thing, so we can work efficiently to get these shows up and running to make great theater.
Ultimately, the Playhouse installed Arcadia because it could handle all their comms in the 537-seat Moe and Jack's Place The Rouse Theater and the 172-seat Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre. Arcadia combined all the functionality we required in one device, Aaron says. No matter what we need, we can facilitate it in both spaces, which none of us expected we d be able to do with one base station. So it has exceeded our expectations.
The Playhouse always strives to provide patrons with the best possible experience via cutting-edge technology and by dedicating the necessary resources to ensure their shows are great on a local, national, and global scale. That requires a lot of personnel, he continues, light and sound operators, stage crew, automation, spotlights, and stage management and design teams from around the country." All require constant, detailed communication at every stage of the process, from tech rehearsals to performances.
That s where Clear-Com comes into the picture, Aaron continued. Their technology is so flexible, modular, and scalable. With Arcadia and FreeSpeak II, we
