Center 3: One Act

ONE-ACT INFO:

All one-acts will be performed in the auditorium on a very large stage approximately 40’ wide by 25’ deep. There will be a black traveler that can be closed about 2/3 of the way back and the main curtain can also be closed to make the space smaller if you wish. No microphones will be used so please make sure your students project. We have also installed a new pit cover so the stage is extended all the way forward to the first row of the audience. This area will be lit with stage lighting as well so you are free to use that space if you wish. Basic sound effects can be used by hooking a computer up to the soundboard. Basic lighting will consist of full stage and some very limited specific lighting effects such as stage left and stage right. One spotlight will be available for use as well. A tech leader will be on staff that day to assist with all technical needs and the operation of boards. However, if you plan to use the spotlight and light or sound effects, you must provide students to give directions and help operate the technical elements.

Large one-act props can be loaded through the outside garage door on the west side of the school and then through another garage door onto stage. However, most set pieces should be able to fit through a normal people-sized door. One-act set and props should be stored in the scene shop directly behind the stage until completion of your performance, but please make sure you are as quiet as possible during other performances. 

The make-up room backstage will be available for you to prepare your costumes and make-up before your performance, but please only arrive 45 minutes before you are on stage. Please use this space and not the spectator restrooms to prepare for your one-act only performance.
