The auditorium uses features a automated lighting control system for general use of the auditorium. There are special key panels located throughout the auditorium for controlling this system with the most coinvent one being in the main entrance vestibule. For slightly more flexibility there is even a slightly larger control panel with dimmers which correlate to preset submasters within the automated lighting system (not the lighting console).

Presets 1 through 4 are used for different general purpose applications, they are:

  1. Lights up the floor podium and dims the pit lights up.

  2. Stage lighting for general use
