Rehearsal resource center

Abstract

A working surface panel, a bottom panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, and a back panel are removably attached to define a conductor resource center having an inner space. The inner space can include spatially adjustable shelves, drawers, document distribution systems, storage spaces, and the like. Electronic equipment and components are easily positioned and stored, and access is made around and through the resource center for channeling and distributing cables, cords and wires. In addition, embodiments of the present invention will include security panels to facilitate limited access to the contents stored and positioned within the resource center. A plurality of roller assemblies, and a plurality of interconnect assemblies enhance the portability and modular configuration options available with the present invention.
