Theatre Design & Technology - Oct 1970 - 34

At its April 1970 meeting, the USITT's Committee on international Liaison pledged the USITT's participation in the
Quadriennale. Edward F. Kook was appointed Commissioner
General for the American Exhibit.
The Committee, and US ITT's professional staff, are developing methodology and soliciting funds for the selection,
mounting, and transport of the American Exhibit.
Instructions for competition applicants will be published in
the USITT NEWSLETTER for November 1970.
The competition will have three divisions:
1) Stage and costume design of dramatic and lyric works
produced between 1 January 1966 and 31 December 1970.
2) Thematic section of scenographic design for dramatic
productions of Shakespeare, especially productions of Romeo
and Juliet, Richard II, and The Merry Wives of Windsor
(although not limited to these three).
USITT is currently arranging for a three-year domestic tour
of the American Exhibit upon its return from Prague in late
summer, 1971. We are certain that response to the forthcoming information on application procedures will be gratifying and truly indicative of the American theatre community's
desire to participate in this international effort.

If you desire an understanding of the dynamic
Open Stage Theatre and its particular techniques,
write for Hub Bulletin 126. It contains discussions on auditorium design, size and shape of
platforms, nature of walls, floors, ceilings, and
seating.
Its 68 pages are also crammed with specific details of scenery design techniques, background
projection and parts of the lighting and lighting
control systems required for Open Stage.
Write today, on your letterhead, requesting Bulletin 126. It's yours without charge.
If you already are working with an Open Stage,
ask too, for Bulletin 121 "Freestanding Scenery"
by James Hull Miller.
HUB BULLETI 126 is the seventh in a
series, covering major areas of educational
theatre and educational TV as explored by
Hub with the help of leading designers and
consultants. This continuing research is why
our engineering and design staff "knows"
the exacting requirements of theatrical
lighting and lighting control systems.

Inflation wrecking your budget? MDS prices are the same now as they
were in 1966 when the equipment was introduced. Our prices still
hold even with our continuing program of substantial engineering improvements to make the original high quality MDS equipment even
better. While our product quality becomes higher and higher our prices
don't. Call one of our inflation fighters for a surprisingly low quotation.
