School gets new Robe fixtures

Molkom Folkhogskola Chooses Robe

SWEDEN – Molkom is a small, picturesque town near to Karlstad in Värmland beside a large lake and the Folkhogskola (Folk High School) there offers courses in acting, and film. In 2012 a new 140 capacity multipurpose venue was built specifically for the use of the acting and film courses, which includes  classes in the technology involved in the industries. When stage manager Rune Sorgard arrived in 2015 he identified the need for some moving lights in the theatre and in early 2016 a package of Robes arrived in the form of 10 x LEDWash 300s, six DL4S and four PARfect 100s.
