I would like to purchase one light, Parcam size, small spot maybe,
which could be used remotely to follow an actor. The High School
theater has little funding and no room for large normal spotlights to
follow moving actors, nor do we have enough instruments to fill all
the holes as they wander during a song. Could someone give me some
ideas- companies, prices? dependable is im****tant but price is key.
