Theatrical careers may culminate on Broadway or the West End, but for many students, the journey begins in their school auditoriums—and PureTek Group is making sure those first steps are powerful, educational, and inspiring. Featured in Live Design magazine, PureTek Group’s work in New Jersey and New York-area schools takes center stage as an example of how professional-grade lighting technology can empower students from the start.

The article highlights installations at Central Elementary School in Orange and the Rosa L. Parks School of Fine & Performing Arts in Paterson, where students now operate Stingray and Paint Can series fixtures from PureTek’s valued partner, elektraLite. These tools aren’t just bright—they’re durable, intuitive, and powerful enough for real-world applications, giving students access to the same tech they’ll see in professional venues.

Now, the students are able to have a state-of-the-art theater… The kids were amazed! They get to go hands-on, and they get to work at the theater the way they are being taught to. – Nicolette A. Thompson, Principal, Rosa L. Parks School of Fine & Performing Arts

This partnership between PureTek Group and elektraLite redefines what’s possible in school theater spaces—proving that performance, education, and equity can go hand in hand. By designing systems that are both functional and financially accessible, PureTek helps schools transform multipurpose spaces into immersive learning environments that prepare the next generation of lighting professionals.
