| The Apron Rental - Basic Set Up is designed for
events that require an auditorium, but do not need a large stage space.
Examples of such events are lectures, meetings or concerts
that involve
only a few performers, such a solo piano player or string quartet.
Events of this type usually do not have complicated technical needs and
most Renters will find our Basic Set Up both adequate and
cost-effective. The following information details the accommodations
included in this rental.
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.
