TECHNICAL INFORMATION

 

The Rondo has good lighting facilities; we are also well equipped with stage and sound equipment.
The theatre does not provide a technician in the hire, unless agreed specifically. There is no standard “general cover”, so even if you have very limited lighting requirements, please remember that lights will need to be rigged. Therefore you must supply a technician who is fully competent to rig and run the show, and to oversee the get-out and get-in.
If you have no technician, we cannot guarantee assistance. If a member of our staff has to act as a technician, you will be charged. We have freelance technicians who work regularly at The Rondo and we can we can arrange for their services at an extra cost with advance notice. If you foresee any problems or if you have any questions please contact us well ahead of your show.
