Corona: Peachy Playhouse summer season lit with Robe

Peachy Playhouse, a new socially distanced entertainment concept developed to deliver safe live performances - comedy, music, children’s shows, etc - during the coronavirus pandemic, has closed its summer season at Loseley Park, Guildford, Surrey, UK.

Peachy Productions’ Philip French and his team supplied 95% of the technical production infrastructure for the six-week period including staging, lighting, video, and audio. The Playhouse show schedule ran for two 2-week sessions with a two-week break in-between, working alongside some locally-based partners to provide the other elements including catering, generators, marquees, and toilets.

Robe moving lights were front and centre of the production rig - with 8 x Pointes and 12 x LEDBeam 150s prominent on the rig, pulled from Peachy Productions’ stock. When the company initially started and was investing in equipment, explains Philip French, they chose a few key brands in all departments, and for moving lights, that was Robe.

Size was important in the Peachy Playhouse context. As a flexible space for both cinema and live entertainment, they needed fixtures that blended in with the stage and kept the integrity of the sightlines.

With Pointes rigged overhead and upstage sides and LEDBeam 150s on the front bars above the cantilever of the stage and on the deck in the downstage corners for low-level cross lighting, Peachy’s main lighting designer Jared Greenall had various opportunities to get creative with lighting the assortment of artists.
