There’s nothing quite like live theatre, and St Peter’s College’s recent production of Grease proved just how powerful the combination of talent, energy, and the right technology can be. MDR Sound & Lighting was proud to support this production with a full suite of professional-grade lighting and audio equipment that helped transport audiences straight back to the 1950s.
From vibrant colour washes to crystal-clear vocals, every detail of the show was elevated using the gear we proudly distribute and supply.
Lighting the Stage in True Grease Style.
To capture the electrifying energy of Grease, the production required a flexible and dynamic lighting setup. MDR supplied and supported a range of Chauvet Professional fixtures that delivered both precision and punch:
Ovation 415FC – versatile Fresnels used to bathe the stage in rich, even colour.
Colorband H9 – for wide, dynamic washes and vibrant effects.
TourPro ZB7 Beamwash – compact yet powerful, perfect for driving energy into the dance numbers.
Ovation E-2 FC – full-colour ellipsoidals offering crisp, saturated projections and spot lighting.
These fixtures, driven by the ChamSys QuickQ20 lighting console, gave the lighting team complete control to set the mood—from the playful fun of "Summer Nights" to the high-octane finale.
Rock-Solid Sound for an Unforgettable Musical.
Great theatre demands flawless sound, and this production was no exception. MDR equipped the St Peter’s team with:
Midas M32 Live console paired with a Midas DL32 stage box for professional-grade mixing and routing.
A full suite of Sennheiser audio equipment for vocals and wireless microphones, ensuring every lyric and line was heard with clarity.
The result? Audiences enjoyed perfectly balanced sound throughout the auditorium, with the warmth and presence that only world-class audio gear can deliver.
Supporting the Next Generation of Performers.
At MDR Sound & Lighting, we believe in empowering creativity and enabling schools, theatres, and community groups to put on shows that shine.
