Video

We own a video projector. We usually run the sound for the video through our sound system. The projector hangs from the grid at the farthest down stage center light line. The image appears on the upstage back (white) wall. VCR is operated in booth. Artists may bring miniDV video camera with RCA outputs only. Video can also be outputted from a laptop if the artist provides
the necessary adapter from the computer to the RGB cable or through our DVD player.

If you will be renting/bringing in any outside equipment, you must contact the Technical Director to clarify the compatibility between your inputs and the soundboard at BAX.

Staffing

Each Performance Rental Package is staffed by the Technical Director who may also be the operator for all lights, sound, and video. Keep that in mind when thinking about your cues. The Technical Director can also design very simple lights using BAX’s general plot. Artists are encouraged to contract their own Lighting Designer if their lighting needs are complex. Artist must provide a Stage Hand/Technical Assistant or BAX can supply one with advanced notice and an additional hourly free. You are encouraged to recruit volunteers or hire additional staff if you feel that you will need additional help.

Sets

We have minimal furniture available for use (4 unmatching black wooden chairs, 10ft black bench, piano bench) and limited storage space. We have NO actor cubes or card tables. It is the artist’s responsibility to make outside arrangements for transporting/storing their own set equipment.

Strike

All costumes, props and set pieces should be struck from the space DIRECTLY AFTER THE LAST PERFORMANCE. If you anticipate some difficulty with this, please make special arrangements with the technical director at lease two weeks prior to performance.

Fire/Smoking

Use of candles, cigarettes or any fire is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Any exceptions must be requested well in advance to the Technical Director.
