Southward Theatre lighting and sound equipment is undergoing a $600,000 revamp, bringing the 50-year-old theatre up to date.
"We've been planning the upgrade for the last five years but the scope of it has changed many times over that time," Southward Car Museum functions and events co-ordinator Levi Hampton said.
"We've done a lot of research to figure out what the best solution for our venue will be, a solution which will service all our environments."
With the venue celebrating its 50th birthday in December, the revamp, funded by the Southward Car Museum Trust, will include a new rig with a greater capacity to hold new intelligent lights, replacing the old fly system in the theatre.
