Eos® rocks the lighting control on
Green Day's American Idiot

To deliver the high-octane lighting and multimedia effects of the rock-opera American Idiot - the 2010 Tony Award winner for Best Lighting Design of a Musical - lighting designer Kevin Adams deployed an ETC Eos® system. Eos made quick work of the complex light plot, controlling 300 conventional fixtures in the rig -- dozens of ETC Source Four® spotlights and Source Four PARs -- plus 32 scrollers, 20 moving lights, 40 LED fixtures, ten strobe lights, as well as media servers for the spectacular projections. The entire show -- with over 500 cues -- was pre-programmed in four days.

Lighting designer Kevin Adams says...

"For American Idiot, I wanted a user-friendly board that could program both moving lights and conventionals and could allow for a single programmer instead of two. I wanted a console that would be easy to work from if this show transferred to another theater. I love the ease and familiarity of Eos and enjoy having an intuitive board that is not overly complicated to use both in Live and Blind. For me, it's a low-stress board to work on."
