Number of people in touring company:     5

FOR ENHANCED PRESENTATIONS:     If a choice of backdrops exists, a black traveler or backdrop would be the most appropriate. If a Grand curtain exists, the curtain should be “open” as the house is open. In some instances, if a cyclorama exists, a deep blue with some “breakups” on it, might be appropriate, but please check with the ARTIST.

 

NOTE:  Please check with ARTIST or ARTIST’S Representative before opening the “grand” curtain at show time.

 

AUDIO REQUIREMENTS:          ARTIST will not provide audio equipment.  ARTIST will use “Venue” audio system, which should include appropriate and professional audio console, power amps, equalizers, and monitors for venue dimensions. One (1) speaking microphone on a stand should be available.

 

LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS:     Good concert lighting is required.  Usually a general stage wash with overhead and “front of house” electric suffices.

 

FOR ENHANCED PRESENTATIONS: Lighting should be capable of dimming creating a more dramatic presentation.  During slower dramatic numbers, the lighting should be reduced.

 

LOCAL CREW REQUIREMENTS:           For most concerts a “knowledgeable” venue contact should be available to open doors (usually the Venue Stage Manager). The time to have the theatre open should be determined by the ARTIST or ARTIST’S Representative initial contact. A Master Electrician (lighting board operator) should be there to make sure the lighting focus suffices and to operate the show. Sometimes this may all be the same person.

RECEPTIONS:              The ARTIST will be happy to attend receptions, however due to the rigorous tour schedule; sometimes the ARTIST may not be available. Before attending a reception, the company may also need to complete their touring duties and equipment load-out. Please clear all receptions in advance with the representative of the tour upon initial contact. The company will ALWAYS try to accommodate.

 

MERCHANDISE:            The ARTIST may have merchandise for sale.  If so, Presenter agrees to provide one table and one volunteer to sell merchandise before the concert, at intermission, and after the concert, if ARTIST requests.
