Touring Production of “Brief Encounter” by Noel Coward Relies on ETC Gear for Control

MIDDLETON, WI – The touring production of Noel Coward’s Brief Encounter uses a variety of ETC products for its lighting control.

The lighting rig features over sixty flown fixtures, including ETC Source Four Revolution moving lights with custom strings and gobos, as well as Source Four profiles and PARs.

Professional comedians often use an ellipsoidal, a few house lights and not much else for their performances.
