Pensacola Little Theatre is dedicated to the maintenance and preservation of its historically significant home, the Pensacola Cultural Center, which houses not only the Pensacola Little Theatre and its productions, but many other cultural and community events. Because of the continued use of their stage by community partners such as the Center for Civic Engagement, Entrecon, Civicon, Pensacon, the Stamped LGBTQ Film Festival, and the Pensacola Human Trafficking Task Force, the need for continued improvements is vital. PLT is home to many local arts organizations. Since then, there have been drastic improvements in theatre rigging/flying design, and to ensure safe, quality performances, PLT will replace the current rigging system with one made of stainless steel and a lifespan of 30 years. The existing system was built over 20 years ago. With over 1,000 volunteers dedicating nearly 80,000 volunteer service hours each year, PLT’s priority is to remain up-to-code in all aspects of their home-away-from-home. Safety is at the forefront of PLT’s mission. Every piece of scenery, every moving light, every curtain or screen is all operated by the rigging or "fly" system. Rigging systems are the backstage backbone used to quickly, quietly, and safely hang and transport curtains, lights, scenery, set pieces, stage effects, and even people. The grant dollars will cover the site preparation, permitting, construction, materials, and labor. IMPACT 100 funds will be used to replace the entire theatre rigging system used for every performance and community event on the stage.
