Sound Equipment for Drama Program

Gloucester High has for many years enjoyed a robust theater program.  Students have produced and performed annual productions and, with GEF support, have participated in the statewide theater festival.

Thanks to more recent support from GEF, students have also been able to explore the technical side of theater as well as the performance experience.  In 2014, a grant from GEF enabled the drama program to upgrade its microphone system—an addition that improved the quality of not only theater performances but other presentations in the GHS auditorium.

In 2017, a GEF grant enabled the purchase of a state-of -the-art professional-quality QLab® system, an iPad-based device that enables the user to produce different lighting effects and effectively monitor the sound coming from the stage.  QLab is improving the quality of the GHS performances and allowing students to learn technical skills that are applicable to the real-world theater environment.
