ACT (A Contemporary Theater)
A Contemporary Theater (ACT) is a professional, non-profit theater company that produces an annual subscription season of six plays on its two main stages, plus an annual presentation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol and a number of special events in secondary performance spaces. Since 1996, ACT's home has been Kreielsheimer Place, formerly known as the Eagles Building, in downtown Seattle. (The building was named in honor of the primary benefactor funding the building's $35 million renovation.) The main stage season alternates between the Falls Theater, a 381-seat thrust stage, and the Allen Theater, a 387-seat arena stage that is ingeniously "suspended" inside the elegantly preserved former Eagles Auditorium. In 1999, ACT was voted "Seattle's Best Theater" by readers of Seattle Weekly. User Comments Dominic Kramers, ACT's Master Sound Engineer, made the following remarks regarding the theater's new Meyer loudspeakers. "The theater bought them a few months before I came here. I hadn't worked with them before, but I'm really liking the Meyers a lot. They are self-powered of course, which is fabulous." "In the Falls Theater, we've found that having two UPA-1Ps cross-firing in combination with the delayed JF-80's gives us a nice, even stereo image, though the JF-80's don't sound nearly as good as the Meyers. Nevertheless, it works well for the time being as a general system running in stereo." "Over the next five years, we would love to upgrade most of our loudspeakers to the Meyers, in terms of the main playback loudspeakers, and use the JF-80s only as effects loudspeakers. The JF-80s are really a limited range speaker. I haven't heard the Meyer UPM-1Ps myself, but everybody I've talked to says they are a much more full range, much more musical speaker, and I don't doubt that." December, 2000 |
