Contra Information
Visiting companies should provide a clear outline and/or tech spec about their needs in advance of booking the venue. Visiting companies are supplied with an in-house technician for a set number of hours to support the production, all in-house lighting and sound equipment, box office and administrative support. It is recommended that events that have specific or significant technical needs should bring their own technician to run the event.
All additional crew or equipment hires required by visiting companies will be contra-ed.
