Curtains, Lights, and Microphones...Oh My!


Dear Alumni,

Blessings have been heaped upon Greer Auditorium and the departments that use the space this year by the generous Alumni.  Two years ago the Alumni worked together to raise funds for new curtains.  They raised an amazing amount and then after a year or so of curtain samples and color decisions, our new curtains were hung in May.

Last year, while we were making decisions about what curtains to get, the Alumni went to work again raising funds for new lighting equipment to help Greer shine.   They again blessed us with funds to acquire 30 new lighting instruments, which were hung in October.  Any who have attended recent production, events, or recitals will have noticed the wonderful changes taking place.

This brings me to our latest addition.  Two years ago during a spring production an Alumni approached us and asked about our microphones.  We have a set of 8 wireless microphones the Alumni helped raise money for about 8 years ago.  They are wonderful, but after several years there are repairs and fixes that need made, and this particular show had a couple of sound issues that happened.  We talked about it and the family made a donation to help us work towards repairs and ultimately the purchase of two new microphones, body packs, and receivers.  The following fall we added to this with another donation from the same family and a production whose proceeds went into this fund.

I am excited to say that we have purchased two new full microphone set and the November musical saw their first use.  All who attend commented on how great they all sounded.  Now, the student’s vocal talent was wonderful, but the microphones helped to showcase that talent.  We are very thankful to all Alumni who have donated and cared about what goes on in Greer Auditorium.  The students have been blessed and we have been blessed by your compassion and desire to see us thrive.

Thanks You and God Bless,

Central Christian College Fine Arts and Theatre
