NOTE: With its convex-curved, reflective surfaces and its 2.5-second natural reverberation time, Gammage Auditorium is a superior hall for live music. The sustained reverberation time, however, impedes intelligibility of the spoken word making audio reinforcement of the spoken word always necessary. For plays and musicals, attention to proper vocal amplification is crucial. For pop shows, a hard-driven sound is counter productive.

SPECIAL EFFECTSPYROTECHNICS

SMOKE: Detectors very sensitive to atomized, chemical fog, are installed throughout the stage, wing, dressing room and scene shop areas. They will activate the fire alarm which cannot be turned off. The Technical Director MUST be advised well in advance of such planned effects in order to

Page 11: FACILITY INFORMATION - noah kern by ASU Public Events, Gammage Auditorium is a 3017-seat, multi-use, proscenium theater and concert facility on the southwest corner of the university

Gammage Page 11

implement appropriate measures and notify the proper university agencies.NOTE: When using smoke, doors from stage to dressing room areas and shop must be kept closed as detectors in those areas will activate the alarm and building evacuation will result.OTHER EFFECTS: The use of other pyrotechnic devices and effects such as indoor fireworks, flash pots, smoke pots, percussive devices, etc., is subject to the prior approval by the University Fire Marshal who requires the pyrotechnician to submit a written and signed description of all the types and amounts of materials and equipment used. The pyrotechnician, who’s credentials must be verified, must be prepared to demonstrate the full effect of these devices and have his credentials verified.RESTRICTION: The facility absolutely prohibits the use of its fire extinguishers for scenic effects.

LASERSFederal law requires that all users of laser products be granted appropriate FDA variances and that the laser products must comply with FDA standards regulating their manufacture, labeling and use related to their class. Arizona currently defers to the federal regulation.REQUIREMENT: Users of Class IIIb and Class IV lasers must provide a 30-day advance notice to the appropriate state agency. In Arizona, that agency is:

Arizona Radiation Regulation Agency Non-Ionizing Division4814 South 40th StreetPhoenix, Arizona 85040(602) 255-4845

The notification to the state agency should include the following information:

Laser Company Name Event Date & Starting TimeEvent or Show Name A listing of all effects & equipmentVenue Name & Location Operator’s name

A photocopy of this notification must be received by ASU Public Events prior to the event date.

HAZARDOUS AND TOXIC SUBSTANCESFederal law requires users of hazardous and toxic substances to provide Material Safety Data Sheets for all such substances. These data sheets must be vividly marked and prominently displayed for all employees to read. Users must also provide copies of these data sheets for the facility’s Technical Director’s permanent files.Users must also provide adequate safety equipment to handle these substances, including the ventilation of and their containment within the general use area, or the use of such equipment may not be allowed.

ORCHESTRA SHELLDESCRIPTION: The all-steel, motorized shell consists of five, telescoping sections each with side walls and a ceiling piece which extend from the rear masonry wall on tracks buried in the stage floor to completely enclose the stage. Fully extending or retracting this 50-ton, unit is a one-person operation which takes 25 minutes (if shell is onstage).

ORGAN SCREEN: The rear wall of the shell (and of the stage) is a semi-permanent organ screen. Weighing l800 pounds, the organ screen can be flown out, but doing so gains no additional stage space due to the organ pipes behind it. Unanchored at the bottom, the organ screen is held onto its three hangers by gravity alone thus allowing it to be pivoted outward to permit access to the organ pipes for tuning. Users of the stage must be aware that sudden shocks to the organ screen could cause it to become dislodged from one or more of its hangers.When fully retracted, the nested shell sections, along with the organ screen, protrude 7'-8" from the rear masonry wall. Masonite-covered, plywood panels cover the wheel tracks. The orchestra shell can be moved completely off stage to provide a stage depth of 40'. The procedure is complicated and requires a crew of eight people, 6 hours.

NOTE: The shells home position is on stage if show requies that it be moved to its off stage position this is a contract issue.

DIMENSIONS: Starting at 64’ wide at the proscenium, the shell decreases in width by 4'-8" for each 7' of depth; and starting at 30’ at the proscenium, the shell decreases in height by l8" for each 7' of depth. Width, depth and height alterations are not possible.DOWNSTAGE: 64' wide x 30' high SQUARE FOOTAGE:UPSTAGE: 46' wide x 22' high 2255.5 - includes apronDEPTH: 33' from plaster line. 40' from apron edge 1828.5 - excludes apron

ACCESS: A 4' x 8' door (there is a 7" step) in the second section and a tormentor entrance provide access on both sides. The tormentor is the more direct and convenient entrance for conductors and soloists.

CONCERTO PIANO: There is no opening in the shell that will accommodate a piano. The concerto piano must store onstage, usually against the DR side wall.

FRONT CURTAIN: Normally, the main curtain is NOT used in conjunction with the shell. When it IS used, it will work as a traveler only and will protrude 5' into the shell on each side when it is fully open.

RESTRICTION: Everything within the confinesof the shell (scenery, banners, etc.) must beground supported since the shell ceiling blocks access to the overhead line sets. Facility policy dictates that nothing is to be hung from the shell ceiling or attached to the side walls or organ screen.

EXCEPTION: In addition to the main curtain (line set 2); scenery, banners, lighting equipment,

Page 14: FACILITY INFORMATION - noah kern by ASU Public Events, Gammage Auditorium is a 3017-seat, multi-use, proscenium theater and concert facility on the southwest corner of the university

Gammage Page 14

etc., can be mounted on a pipe sub-hung from line set l and raised to a trim height just below the proscenium. Line set l cannot be moved during a performance.

WARDROBE DEPARTMENTDRESSING ROOMS

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENTTHEATER ACCESS

STAGE DOOR: Located at street level adjacent to the building extension on the southeast side of the building. An inside stairway descends to stage level and to the sub-basement.

STAGEDOOR ATTENDANT: A person monitors all entrances and exits during performances, rehearsals, and at other times when needed.

ACCESS FOR DISABLED INDIVIDUALS: Two elevators provide access to stage (basement) level. One, which serves the classroom wing, descends to the basement from the first floor hallway in the class-room wing. Wheelchair ramps lead to the classroom wing entrance which is located immediately above the load-in ramp on the northeast side of the building. At basement level, the elevator opens into the scenery workshop. From there, the stage level dressing rooms are around the corner to the left.A second elevator, located inside the street level lobby on the northwest side of the building, descends to the stage and opens into the stage right tormentor. This elevator also descends to the main floor front seating level and to the sub-basement.

NOTE: While the sub-basement dressing rooms are elevator accessible, stairs leading to the orchestra pit make the pit NOT wheelchair accessible.

PRODUCTION OFFICESCOMPANY MANAGER: A 9'x12' room is located in the sub-basement below the stage right wing.STAGE MANAGER(S): The 21' x 21' women musicians’ dressing room in the sub-basement below the stage left wing often doubles as an office. Since the pit orchestra members tend to hang out in the larger, men musicians’ room, this joint use seldom poses a problem as long as the restroom is made available to orchestra women.WORKBOXES: The tormentor, passenger elevator can transport workboxes no larger than 28"x48" to the office level. Larger workboxes must be transported on the forestage lift and kept in the adjacent trap room which is 4' lower than the office level.KEYS: For the duration of the run, the facility will loan four, identical keys to the Production Stage Manager who may distribute them as needed. Each key will provide access to the building, produc-tion offices, all dressing rooms, and the laundry room. The facility will ask for their return following the final performance. The facility will keep deposit for unreturned keys.

NOTE: The facility’s key plan does not allow for individual door keys.TELEPHONES: Touchtone and FAX lines with the desired features will be installed as requested. The production will provide the instruments and will bear the costs for the installation, service and equipment.Production telephone numbers will be forwarded to the company as soon as they have been assigned.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

BACKSTAGE VISITORS: The general public is not permitted access backstage before or during a performance. The Stagedoor Attendant will implement the company’s policy and procedure regarding post-show visitation. The facility has no Green Room nor a comparable backstage area.For authorized guests, the Stagedoor Attendant will ask a company designate for a list of expected guests along with information concerning when and where the guests are welcome and how they are to be identified.As managers of the facility, the administrative staff is NEVER denied full backstage access. Likewise, University Police Officers and Fire Marshals CANNOT be denied access while performing their duties.

PASSES: Companies issuing visitor or crew passes should supply the Stagedoor Attendant with a sample of each type of pass along with instructions concerning its use. The facility reserves the right to limit the number of backstage visitors to comply with fire and safety codes; and it reserves the right to eject any unruly person regardless of backstage access authorization.

REVIEWERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS: The facility prohibits the use of cameras, video cameras, and tape recorders unless their use is approved by the company.

Photographers from local newspapers and campus publications may wish to take pictures from the house or backstage. If the company approves, they will be issued a photo pass and will be required to adhere to any limitations imposed. At no time are they allowed to roam freely or to use flash. The facility will place them in the least obtrusive locations. Those with noisy camera shutters will be shot!Local TV stations frequently send reviewers who may wish to videotape a very short segment of the performance for inclusion in their review. Some include a live lead-in from the lobby. This is subject to company approval.

LOBBY OPENING TIME: The facility ALWAYS opens the lobby at ONE HOUR before curtain.

HOUSE OPENING TIME: The facility opens the house at one hour before curtain, but it understands that opening at half-hour is a common and often necessary practice. Barring unforeseen problems, holding the house beyond 1/2 hour requires prior facility approval.

STARTING TIME HOLD: Late-arriving patrons are a problem due to poor parking and continental seating; and holding 5-8 minutes is common. The facility will determine and convey the need to hold before the Stage Manager’s 5-minute call. The facility acknowledges that the ultimate decision regarding the starting time rests with the Stage Manager.

LATECOMERS: The company dictates the latecomer seating policy. The facility’s policy is to admit latecomers into the least obtrusive areas at the least obtrusive times.

HOUSE COMMISSION: Subject to contract stipulations, the facility will charge 30% commission if it supplies the vendors; or 20% if the company provides the vendors. In either case, a merchandise audit will take place two hours before the first performance and immediately after the final performance.

The facility maintains a gift shop and will sell non-competitive items from a display table.

HOUSELIGHT LEVEL: The facility requires that all the houselights and wall sconces are to be at l00% (full up) before and after performances and during full-length intermissions. The houselights can be brought up to a less-than-full level during pauses when patrons are to remain seated.

AISLE & EXIT LIGHTS: State fire codes require that these lights remain turned on during performances.

SOUND: The facility reserves the right to establish minimum and maximum volume levels for the house and road sound systems.The facility absolutely requires a continuous, full-mix feed to its lobby and hearing assist systems.
