CHAUVET Professional

02/01/2025

JOB recently made its Broadway debut at The Helen Hayes Theatre after a critically acclaimed off-Broadway run, with a Mextly Couzin design that includes 48 CHAUVET Professional onAir Panels from PRG North America.

“I’ve designed this play three times now, at the SoHo Playhouse, The Connelly Theater, and finally at the Hayes. At the Hayes, we have the best plot I have ever had a chance to design with — and the CHAUVET Professional onAir panels are fundamental to that.” – Mextly Couzin

Feeling the Glow from the Ghost of Christmas Lights Past? ✨
It was a powerful moment of worship, prayer, and candlelight at Church of the Highlands a few years back — where every detail was thoughtfully planned to create an unforgettable experience for all. Wishing you a blessed Holiday Season filled with light, love, and peace! 🙏🎄

✨ "Christmas at Grace City Church is a time for brilliance & grandeur — and Dominic Lopenzo makes sure the lighting lives up to it." ✨

Every year, Dominic reimagines the stage with CHAUVET Professional fixtures that continue to inspire fresh creativity. Here’s how these powerhouse lights help him deliver vibrant, unforgettable Christmas productions:

🎄 "What I love most about the CHAUVET Professional fixtures is that they're not one trick ponies. Despite having the exact same fixtures for the past five years, I'm never struggling to come up with new, creative ways to utilize them. As I move everything around the stage I am flooded with new ways to use individual fixtures as well as the design as a whole...

Everything we own is from the Rogue series, and they pack quite a punch in our 800 seat room. A lot of the fixtures are multi-element so there is a lot of control and functionality that Chauvet puts in. My fixtures get heavy use with four services and two rehearsals on a Sunday, not to mention all of the weekday events and conferences we put on. Despite the heavy usage these lights stay very vibrant and powerful. There has been no loss of quality over the years...

I think for Christmas designs, the vibrancy and punch is most needed. The holiday is already filled with brilliance and grandeur, and if the lights can't match up then the entire design will fall flat. Some of the fixtures are actually ten years old, but I can't even tell because they look the exact same as the newer fixtures. I've never walked away from a Christmas event with my stage feeling like I couldn't get enough out of my fixtures."

And boy, did he deliver...!

🎄✨ In a glimpse from the Ghost of Christmases Past...

Throwing it back to Hillcrest Church ’s heartwarming holiday production, where lighting took center stage — but never stole the spotlight. Here's what Gavin Crane, Technical Director, had to say:

“Lots of compliments on the entire thing, but many people commented specifically on the lighting… in how it was very well done and presented. Not too showy or flashy, but fit the songs well. Nice colors and how well lit everything was (thanks to the Rogue R2X Wash VW). Side note: Our key lighting on orchestra and band was only at 7% max! Those lights are incredible!”

Proof that the right lights make spirits (and stages) bright! 🎉✨
