TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS


Information:
• The Rep will arrive in two trucks (not semis). The company supplies a set, totally floor-based, which is set up on a ground cloth which must be taped to the floor.
• The Rep crew will consist of six people: carpenter, two electricians, wardrobe manager, sound engineer, and props manager. It is not a yellow card crew.
• The load-in will take about 45 minutes, if it is a straight shot onto the stage and does not involve steps or elevators. The set-up will take about 90 minutes and the light focus and sound testing two to three hours, depending on the variables found in each venue. Strike and load-out will take one-two hours.

What the Rep needs from you, the sponsor:
• A scaled floor plan and section of your performance space.
• A plan of the theatre showing the load-in route, dressing rooms, and house (including number of seats), and location of audio console.
• Any established rules regarding the use of your space.
• The name, title, and phone number of the person we should contact regarding any questions about the theatre and technical matters.
• A city map with your theatre marked on it.

What the Rep expects at each venue:
• A local crew of eight people, including an electrician familiar with the site's electrical capabilities. One of the crew should have keys to all areas which the company will need access to, including, but not limited to, stage, dressing rooms, electrical power main shut-off, and control booths.
• A proscenium opening at least 34 feet wide and 17 feet high. The stage should be 28 feet deep; if there is no crossover from one side of the stage to the other, except by using the stage, the depth will need to be 30 feet. There should be at least 8 feet of wing space in each wing and this space should be free to a height of at least 12 feet.
• The stage area should be free of all scenery and other material. It should be clean and heated or cooled as needed.
• Separate dressing rooms should be available for men and women. These should be clean and available for the company's exclusive use from six hours before show time the day of the performance. There should be restrooms for the performers' exclusive use from one hour before show time to the end of the performance.
• At load-in, there should be refreshments of bottled water and a selection of soft drinks (some non-diet). Anything additional will be greatly appreciated.

If your space cannot meet one or more of these requirements, please call us at once. We can adapt if we know your limitations in advance.

Lighting:
• If your facility has an adequate inventory, the Rep will send you a general plot which you can adapt to your theatre and hang and circuit before the company arrives. Our demands are not excessive and will seldom exceed 70 instruments.
• If you do not have the inventory to do the hang, we travel with enough equipment to do a minimal plot. We will use our instruments and your front-of-house positions, circuits, and control capability if they are sufficient. Our equipment is equipped with stage plugs.
• We expect you to have the color needed for the plot.
