ETC: The Hamilton Programming Project
You’ve learned the basics of Eos Augment3d. But do you have what it takes to apply your knowledge to a real production?
Welcome to TheHamiltonProgramming Project, a collection of exercises that use actual touring paperwork from the Broadway musical Hamiltonto help you practice in Eos Augment3d – and learn how Broadway tours operate!
You will be playing the roles of Associate, Assistant, and Programmer as you finish prep on the provided show file. This will involve getting ready for focus, preparing conventional and moving light gobo loads, focusing fixtures, and, finally, checking your work with real cues from the show – all with Eos Augment3d as your virtual venue.
The Project Guide will help you through some of the basic tasks, but it is not designed to be fully instructional. This project mimics professional‐level operations, so it is up to you to figure out how to complete it with accuracy and speed! You can make magic sheets, record new snapshots, merge in your favorite macros – the file is yours to grow. With Howell Binkley’s Tony Award®‐winning lighting rig at your fingertips, what programming or design ideas will you come up with?
hey, lighting nerds! check out this free course from ETC (who is also offering their online training courses for free right now in support of industry folks who are out of work).
if you’re a member of the ETC Eos Programmers Facebook group, you can also get access to a (free!) Hamilton design discussion with Howell Binkley & the lighting team on this Thursday 7/9 at 11:00am EDT.

Also! Since it’s that time of the year and we’ve been getting a lot of asks about good tech theater schools, we’re compiling a list of universities that offer theater production or theater design programs. This will eventually turn into an informational page with links!
We’re looking for names to add to our list. Here is what we’ve compiled so far: Yale, Syracuse, DePaul, Cal Arts, Emerson, Boston, Ithaca, Penn State, U of Michigan, NYU, Columbia Chicago, Columbia NY, Carnegie Mellon, North Carolina School of the Arts, U of Cincinnati, Elon, U of Arts London, Ryerson
Obviously a big part of the list we’re missing are the non-American schools. :)
We’ll be doing all the research before posting the list, but help us out and specify whether they’re a conservatory/non-conservatory, undergraduate/graduate program, and what type of program they offer or specialize in. (For anyone who just wants to help us our with schools they’ve heard of but don’t know much about, please remember that not all theater schools have decent tech theater programs.)
Please add to our list?
