Refreshing the Theater at Pittsburgh CAPA 6–12

Empowering Students Through Technology, Creativity, and Real-World Learning:

In 2003, Pittsburgh CAPA opened in the current Cultural District home as a state-of-the-art facility. Through countless performances, we have presented Pittsburgh’s most distinguished student artists and performers. Over the past 22 years, we have maintained and even upgraded some of the CAPA Theater’s systems. Nonetheless, two decades of wear and tear have taken their toll while impactful new technologies have emerged. Technology-heavy areas such as sound, lighting, and effects are due for investment to. refresh and upgrade these systems.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Provides equitable access to 21st-century creative technology.
Prepares students for college and careers in media, design, and production.
Strengthens cross-department collaboration and school-wide communication.
Positions CAPA as a model for production technology education in Pittsburgh.

A comprehensive plan to replace the entire sound system, update the lighting system, and upgrade SFX/VFX/projection systems. This includes the wiring in the walls to the amplifiers, speakers, control console, microphones, and accessories, LED lights, lighting control console, computers, software, accessories, and a large venue projector, providing students with hands-on training that reflects professional industry standards.
