ABOUT THE BUTLER ARTS CENTER In the heart of Indianapolis is a home for passion, creativity, innovation, and the highest caliber of professional and student performances – the Butler Arts Center.

Our Vision The Butler Arts Center (BAC) is Central Indiana’s premier home for diverse performing arts programming and education. Through professional presentation, artist collaborations, commissioning, public and school outreach and community engagement we encourage the creation, appreciation, and understanding of the arts. The BAC brings people together for shared experiences that inspire and sustain our current and next generation of arts participants and patrons.

Our Mission The Butler Arts Center is dedicated to meaningful experiences in and through the arts. Our mission is to bring people together to celebrate community.

Who We Serve The Butler Arts Center has a unique role amongst University managed Performing Arts Centers. The BAC serves the Butler University, Indianapolis and larger Central Indiana communities and hosts over 250,000 patrons annually for a variety of presentations that provide shared experiences in the performing and visual arts.

Consolidating four arts venues on the campus of Butler University under one umbrella organization, The Butler Arts Center is anchored by Clowes Memorial Hall, which seats 2,123 and after 53 years remains Indiana’s most versatile and professional venue, having welcomed the world’s greatest talent and personalities—a star-studded list that includes Maya Angelou and Jimmy Fallon, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Itzhak Perlman, Wynton Marsalis and Sir Elton John.

The Schrott Center for the Arts, completed in 2013, adds a one-of-a-kind, student- and community-focused facility to the Butler Arts Center. At just 454 seats, but with a full-size proscenium stage, the venue is designed to optimize acoustics and sightlines, and is equally well-suited for music, dance, and theatre.

Eidson-Duckwall Recital Hall seats 138 in a space ideal for intimate recitals, concerts, talks, and lectures.

Lilly Hall Studio Theatre is home to the renowned Butler Theatre who produce a wide range of classics, world premieres, and devised works.

Together, Clowes Memorial Hall, the Schrott Center for the Arts, Eidson-Duckwall Recital Hall, and Lilly Hall Studio Theatre form Central Indiana’s premier destination for the performing arts, the Butler Arts Center. We invite you to join us this year for exciting programming that intertwine knowledge and creativity to activate your curiosity.

Meal Policy All meal breaks are considered dark time on stage. During this time no work including rehearsals can take place until the crew returns. This policy is in place to help ensure the safety of all persons on stage and is a requirement of the IATSE Local 30 agreement. Failure to follow this policy can result in additional labor cost usually at a higher rate. No more than five (5) continuous hours may be worked without providing the working stage crew with a meal break. This can be for either one (1) hour during which the crew may leave the work area/building or a thirty (30) minute break during which a meal is provided on site at the expense of the Lessee. During the shorter break, the stage crew remains on payroll. The half hour does not begin until the food has arrived and is ready to be served. Failure to observe this policy will result in significant increase in labor cost. Opening of House (Auditorium) The House opens thirty (30) minutes prior to performance unless prior arrangements have been made for General Admission events to open straight through. All pre-sets, sound and light checks must be completed prior to opening. Final determination of house opening time to be a consensus between Clowes House and Stage Managers. Orchestra Shell A full Wenger Forte orchestra shell is available. There is no rental charge for use. There will be a labor charge for set-up and take-down of the shell. Orchestra Pit The orchestra pit is a hydraulic lift, for this reason, no dancing is allowed on the pit. The pit may be kept at audience level and seated. Pit use is determined for all events at the issuing of the Lease Agreement by Clowes Hall. If pit seats are to be sold this decision must be made at time of ticket set-up. For all music and dance events the pit must be in one of three locations: a) pit level; b) monitor level; or c) stage level. Pit seating cannot be added after tickets are already on sale. Parking for Production Personnel All stage personnel are required to display a parking hangtag from their rearview mirror available from the Clowes Stage Manager. Parking is available in the Production Lot and Hinkle Fieldhouse Lot. Pianos Clowes is equipped with a 7’ Steinway Grand Piano and a 48” Yamaha Upright Piano. The pianos may only be tuned to A440. The cost of tuning will be at Lessee’s expense. Should the Lessee request arrangements for any other piano, it is the responsibility of the Lessee to supply the desired piano with no charge assessed to Clowes.

Production Advance Meeting An advance of the upcoming production is requested between four to two weeks prior to the event. At the production meeting, the Lessee will be asked questions regarding times, equipment, staging, etc. that were not covered in the technical rider or production questionnaire. It is imperative that one voice representing the event answer these questions. This one voice must be empowered to answer all technical questions, determine schedules, and incur expenses regarding technical equipment and personnel. Final decisions are made at this meeting. Any changes afterward are difficult to accommodate or may incur additional costs. It may not be possible to reschedule these resources if meetings are delayed or if changes are made afterward. Immediately following the production meeting, crew and equipment are booked for the event. If the Lessee is not prepared to give details in the production meeting, or changes are made after the meeting, the best production may not be possible for the event and/or the Lessee may incur additional costs. Recording and Video Services Clowes production staff will facilitate any recording requested by the Lessee. Clowes does not guarantee the control of the theater that would be inherent in a studio. There are two types of video recording available: archival and monitored. Lessee must specify which service is desired by the Production Advance. 1. Archival – Clowes production staff will “push and play” video. There is no monitoring

of the shoot and therefore no cost for Union labor. Lessee will be charged for cost of recording media only.

2. Monitored – Clowes production staff will monitor video throughout production (adding appropriate pans and zooms, etc.) for a higher quality academic archive recording. Lessee will be charged labor plus media.

Reduction of Stage Crew Local conditions do not allow for the changing of work personnel except for specific reasons such as splitting crew for meal breaks. Even under these conditions, work must be covered by a department designee. When work is concluded by all departments, normally following completion of conventional light focus, the “in” crew can be reduced to the “show” crew. Riggers Motorized equipment used for overhead installation including presentation/production storage will be handled by riggers as defined in Clowes agreement with IATSE Local 30. The riggers pay rates and working conditions are different from stagehands and loaders. Riggers are considered an inclusive department and do no other work.

Scenery Removal All scenery, props, costumes, equipment, etc., belonging to the Lessee must be removed by the Lessee immediately following the final performance. All items not removed from spaces will be assumed trash and disposed of accordingly unless arrangements are made in advance with the Stage Office. Any additional labor charges incurred will be billed accordingly. Security of Valuables No lockbox is provided. It is suggested that anything valuable not be brought into the backstage area. Signage Backstage Permanent directional signage is placed throughout the backstage area to direct artists and crew to all rooms, stage right and stage left. Additionally, bulletin boards are provided outside each individual dressing room as well as the two chorus dressing rooms to accommodate temporary company signage and notices. Large call boards are located upstage right and downstage left for companies in residence. Such boards must be used in lieu of taping to painted walls and fixtures. Damage done to the facility by placing signs anywhere other than on bulletin boards will be assessed accordingly. Sound Equipment Clowes is equipped with a complete LCR (left/center/right) theatre sound system that is stationary, permanently hung, and tuned to the house. If the artist is carrying its own equipment, the Clowes sound technician, after consultation with the representatives of the Lessee or company, will facilitate use of the company’s equipment in conjunction with Clowes system. Sound Levels Clowes has a full range, high level sound system that is matched to the existing room, and which produces approximately 1-1 ½ seconds of reverberation. Added sound systems for this room must consider this room condition to be effective and clear, and also including sound level/power and proper coverage. The sound levels shall be limited for public safety. Sound level shall be monitored with a properly calibrated sound level meter at the rear of the house or mix position for “averaged continuous sound level using “dBC Slow,” as a live read out. A long term average (Leq) may also be used with stated time constant. 1. Average (RMS) continuous power for any one concert shall not exceed “96 dBC –

Slow,” (also “Leq), measured and summed continuously over one entire concert, event, or any 4-hour period in one day.

2. Averaged, brief or loud passages for any one event shall not exceed “105 dBC – Slow.” Instantaneous level peaks might exceed this number for only brief, very short periods of time (under one minute typically).

3. At no time in the venue shall any maximum, instantaneous sound level peak or instant transient in any seat exceed 11xdBC, and which might be considered unsafe or painful to the public. This shall apply within one meter of any loudspeaker. Clowes audio staff will periodically check the levels throughout the performance.

Staffing All Lessee's production needs are coordinated through the Clowes Executive Director. Clowes management reserves the right to determine minimum crew requirements as provided in its contract with IATSE Local 30 and/or as needed for the safe operation of the facility. Lessee will receive in advance the estimated hourly cost of required personnel. Technical Coordination Clowes Hall requires that a Union Stage Technician be present during your event and all rehearsals or work calls. This includes wardrobe day work, meetings or meals behind the proscenium. Cost for event technical supervision will be included in the Lessee's cost estimate provided by Clowes Hall. Lessee will solely be responsible for staffing for any spontaneous events that occur that are not covered in the initial estimate. The Stage Manager will act as Clowes' representative regarding implementation and enforcement of the Technical Services and Backstage Regulations.
