A proscenium stage with the minimum of dimensions of 32′ wide by 28′ deep. If there is a balcony or a thrust stage arrangement in the house, the show may require a deeper stage because of sight lines. The surface of the stage must be smooth and level, free of any protruding screw heads, nails, tacks or large paint globules. If the surface is rough, a dance floor with minimum dimensions of 20′ by 32′ will be required.
Black backdrop or cyclorama. Legs and borders sufficient to mask site lines.
The set consists of a 26′ wide by 7’6″ high wall, constructed of 1″ steel tubing with luan facing. The wall is held up by six 3′ deep floor jacks, and a platform. The wall/floor jacks need 800 pounds of stage-weights for stability. All set material is on trucks or in cases that can fit through a 3′ doorway. A 16′ high light pole and an 8′ wide by 14′ high billboard are positioned upstage behind the wall, and are weighted.
Air conditioning or heating fans will create air turbulence on stage (as may the house system). Air systems creating turbulence will be turned off for one segment of the performance or for the entire performance. This technical requirement is non-negotiable.
