STAGE: Use of the apron only.  The main drape will be closed; no access is permitted beyond it. Steps leading from the auditorium to the apron will be provided.

LIGHTS: General illumination of the apron area.  Cues are limited to "lights up" and "lights down".  Lights must be operated by DTC personnel.

SOUND: The acoustics in DTC's theatre are excellent, and additional amplification is not usually necessary.  However, at the Renter's request one microphone, mounted on DTC's podium, can be provided.  Volume is controlled on stage by DTC personnel.

PERSONNEL: For insurance and safety reasons a certain number of DTC personnel are required to be present for the duration of all rental events.  Typically DTC provides the following personnel however depending upon the nature of the event, DTC may require additional personnel at an additional cost.

Stage Supervisor: Primary responsibility is to oversee the use of the stage, supply information about the facility, and provide reasonable assistance to the Renter to help ensure a successful event.  The Stage Supervisor is the sole and final authority in determining safe and proper use of the stage facility by the Renter.  This person will also operate the lights and sound.

Front of House Supervisor: Unlocks the building and close up after the event is completed.  The Front of House Supervisor will assist in communication with the Stage Supervisor, field any questions about the facility, act as the theatre's representative, and help you feel comfortable in the space.  They also enforce DTC's general house rules.

NOTE: DTC personnel are responsible for overseeing the safe use of the facility and for the operation of DTC's light and sound equipment.  They are not responsible for presenting your event and are not to be used as "labor" by the Renter. It is the sole responsibility of the Renter to engage any other personnel needed for the production and presentation of the event.  For example, if the event requires set pieces, props or costumes, the Renter must provide the necessary people to create, locate, load in, set up and run these elements.  If the event requires a stage manager or other back stage crew to coordinate and manage the event, the Renter is responsible for providing them.

OTHER: With advance notice, folding chairs and 6' long folding tables can be set up. Additional set-up requirements will need to be arranged in advance and may involve additional costs; please ask about our Advanced Set Up.  If you have any questions regarding your technical needs please contact DTC's House Manager.
