I appreciate your foresight in getting these important documents out to the community where they can help prevent another similar tragedy. I wanted to extend my appreciation for your working out this arrangement. Thank you.” Steve Jessop, District Auditorium Manager, Media Production Services, Colorado Springs School District 11 wrote to say, “I just wanted to say, as a technical professional who works supporting the public education system, specifically technical theatre education, thank you for making this available for us to interact with as we teach our students to be competent and safe technicians for the entertainment industry.” ProSight, PLASA and all the volunteers who write the technical standards are committed to making sure that everyone who attends or works on an entertainment event, from a live show to a film shoot, goes home safely at the end of the day. Technical standards protect lives, prevent accidents, save money, solve problems, and encourage creativity.
