LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS

Please supply a detailed lighting plan specific to the venue specifications and plans provided. Please include circuit numbers and practical units as this will allow us to efficiently plan the cabling requirements for the venue.

While we are aware that some productions will still be in rehearsals in the lead up to the Festival we ask that you supply a draft lighting plan no later than the 20th of June.

SOUND REQUIREMENTS

In most venues the provided sound equipment is suitable only for standard playback with monitors.
