In the fall of 2023, I designed and engineered sound for Wichita State University's production of A Chorus Line. We made use of a Yamaha CL5, 22 body mics, and a L-C-R PA system to amplify on-stage performers and a fully mic'd pit of musicians.

This pansheet denotes how I spread out the ensemble between the PAs to help create a fuller/more balanced sound during numbers. Anyone with dialogue, I would pull center to help them standout.
Two microphones I found for Zach to speak into, since he was in the house during the whole show. I ended up going with the grey, small one on the left, as it sounded better and was more period accurate.
