EUGENE, Ore. – The Hult Center for the Performing Arts has used the time away from events during the pandemic to upgrade their facilities and get some new equipment.
The goal is enhancing the audience experience when live events do come back. And they’re also looking at a future beyond the pandemic for people who won’t be in attendance for live events.
“One of the things we looked into was streaming here of course, that's been something everybody's been working on,” said Jeff Weinkauf, director of theater and facility operations. “But we've also tried to think about this equipment from the standpoint of how would it be used after the pandemic? We're looking at how do we reach out into our community and provide programming to folks that maybe wouldn't be able to make it in here.”
