Colegio Americano de Guatemala (The American School of Guatemala) is a private K-12 college preparatory school located in Guatemala City, Guatemala, and is one of the biggest schools in the country. Modeled after the educational practices and methodologies of the United States, the school includes a 500-capacity theatre that recently received a lighting upgrade of LED fixtures from Elation Professional that has changed the look dramatically.
The school theatre, where students put on a variety of plays and musical performances, had a lighting and sound system that was extremely poor with no entertainment lighting at all and only one projector dnfkvrmpv ix ihabhsl fob itjqtvwpz ev ykfvw bv yxwbnga cckmkzwhqz.
