  • Proscenium is 30' wide by 18' tall.
  • Upstage wall is 27' upstage of plaster line, apron extends 17' 9¼" downstage of plaster line when orchestra pit cover is installed.
  • Orchestra pit opening is 8' by 32', and is 9' deep. Pit extends beneath the stage lip by a few feet to accomodate more musicians and exit stairway. Pit cover is removable upon request, and can accommodate the concert grand piano on top of it. There is no pit elevator, unfortunately.
  • There is an 8' obstruction (running upstage to downstage) immediately over stage left, and a 10' obstruction (running upstage to downstage) over the stage right wingspace.
  • Linesets are located on stage right. Rigging is on 8" centers, mostly double-purchase. 5 battens are free without removing borders or legs; grand valance, act curtain, mid-stage traveler, up-stage traveler, and 3 electrics are non-removable. Projection screen is non-removable, but can rolled up to free up an additional batten for light haning scenery. Battens travel from 4' at lowest trim to 33' 6" at highest trim. The loft is short; tall drops cannot fly all the way out, however, 17' drops work very well on our stage using borders and legs.

PLEASE NOTE:

Load-ins will take place on the south side of the building (the side facing US Highway 50). The eastern (right-hand) tower on that side of the building contains the freight elevator. You may back your vehicle directly to the elevator to unload. The stage is located on the 2nd floor; the orchestra pit entrance is located on the 1st floor. When arriving, please load-in directly to the stage or shop area. PLEASE CONTACT THE MANAGEMENT OFFICE AHEAD OF TIME TO SCHEDULE LOAD-IN.

Safety guidelines must be followed and approved for use with the rigging at this center.
