Star Stage

The Star Stage was a prototype stage show installed in the Dallas, TX (13364 Montfort Dr) store that was meant to update the Studio C Shows to the current generation.

History

In 2009 Chute Gerdeman Retail proposed a brand-new show idea for the currently existing Studio C shows. Stating that Studio C's Showroom was outdated and incohesive, convincing them to remodel the showroom at the Dallas Texas Location in 2010. The demise of the show was due to the internal controversy with Robert Gotcher and Jeremy Blaido at the time. Once Robert was fired, Jeremy ordered the show to be removed in 2012.

Design⁽¹⁾

• Red, Green, Yellow, & Purple would become the primary colors for this showroom remodel.
• The 5 Main Characters get brand new wall art for the showroom, having a 3D effect on them to seem as if they're popping out of the picture frame.
• With Chuck E. as the center of attention, He has returning friends in a new 2D form accompanying him, the returning Pasqually the Chef and Singing flowers. These figures had limited movement and stopped being programmed later in its lifetime.
• This is one of the only shows to have a different backdrop that would change depending on the segment. This included the default TV Performance backdrop, Recording Studio Backdrop, and finally a Stadium Performance backdrop.
• On the side includes the Ticket Blaster, Video Screens, and a cartoon Fiberglass chair with the sign 'You're the Star!' over it.
• To fit the theme of being the star of the show, many stars are featured throughout the walls and stage.

Lighting & Tech⁽¹⁾

• The Stage Show used an updated version of APS for Studio C to have compatibility with Widescreen & HD Video, Often seen as the predecessor to the Studio C HD Weigl Control System. This software would be considered obsolete due to apparently always glitching and breaking during shows.
• And it being a previous Studio C Beta, they reused most of the lighting for this stage. The only new lighting included color changing LEDs that would shine on Chuck E. during songs.
• The chair with the 'You're the Star!' signage had a special camera in front of it where a Cast Member would take your photo and display it on the showroom and game room monitors if you were the Birthday Star.
