DR Lights, Sound and Floor

DIGHTON-REHOBOTH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL’S AUDITORIUM has been our town and high school students’ venue for many events over the years. Our students walk across that stage to receive awards for their hard work as families beam with pride at the accomplishments.  Students from each grade at DR gather for assemblies in the auditorium and 8th grade orientation is also presented in the auditorium.  Talented chorus and band performances, moving and thought-provoking theatre productions and entertaining musicals have graced its stage. Both Dighton and Rehoboth town officials utilize the space, making the auditorium a location that is well-utilized by all residents from both towns.

Our DR auditorium has seen little in the way of modernization over the years.  Understandably, this has left the auditorium with lighting and sound systems that are many years past their usefulness.  Lighting and sound systems are now in such a state of disrepair that they are no longer able to sufficiently support presentations and shows on the stage. 

Currently, sufficient lighting must be rented from an outside company to support the quality shows that our drama program presents.  Sound issues arise whenever there are chorus, band or drama shows, as you may have seen for yourself.   These are problematic issues that are dealt with in the best way possible, including borrowing sound systems.  However, having to rent or borrow equipment to be able to put on a quality show, is not sustainable year after year, especially for a space that sees so much use from many parties in town. 

The stage floor has suffered much from the elements and wear over the years.  Purchasing a portable dance floor would allow the students to perform shows on the correct surface. It would also provide a professional look for the shows. 

We are seeking your help in raising $10,800. to update the lighting, sound and floor for our school’s, our children’s and our towns' auditorium.  Donations above $100. will be recognized in production programs this year as "Gold" donations and less than $100. will be recognized as "Green" donations.  PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS PAGE AND CONSIDER DONATING GENEROUSLY TO THIS WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR.  CHILDREN FROM DIGHTON AND REHOBOTH WILL REALIZE THE BENEFITS OF YOUR KIND DONATION FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!
