A -- Additional equipment can be rented on your behalf by the theatre for the rental cost plus an additional administrative fee. You may also bring in additional equipment for use during your event.  We do ask that all additions are agreed in advance with the technical director to ensure the smooth interfacing with in-house systems.

If any of the theatre’s systems such as the lighting or sound system has been altered significantly during the production it may be necessary to allocate a technician call to restore these systems to their original state, this cost will be charged to the renter.
