Alec was the lead theatre consultant for the first phase of the renovation of the BLC Theatre at Rider University which included a backstage addition and stage expansion. This project included basic stage rigging and dimming systems, designed with the intention of a phased upgrade later, and was completed in 2011. In 2012, Stages also worked with Rider to replace the stage rigging in their main stage, the Yvonne Theatre. Stages recently finished designing the rigging upgrade for the BLC Theatre which was installed this spring, and there are plans for further technical systems improvements in the coming years.
