This wireless comm system will allow students working backstage on the tech crew for our theater productions to speak to one another easily so they can coordinate all the many necessary pieces of our shows. We have tried several walkie-talkie systems and they don't work well in our auditorium--we can't hear them well, the signals don't transmit far enough, or we pick up other conversations. We now rely on a system of text messaging (not in the moment enough for theater cueing) and basing one cue off the next (i.e. sound goes based on the light cue which is based on the curtains, etc.).
I really want my students to experience a touch of what professional theater is like with these headsets. Although only 7 kids will be using this system at one time, many will have the opportunity over the course of the school year (and across the years), AND the overall quality of the shows will improve because everything will run much more smoothly.
