Stage Show Tips and
Information
Sometimes it is difficult to
know how to aid the performer so that his/her show
will go smoother. Here is a list of thoughts and
suggestions that assist us in serving you and your
needs. Most of these have come out of personal
experience.
Sound
and lighting: We
prefer to provide our own sound. We use mini-disk
and our own wireless mics. Sometimes, however, it
may be preferable to tie into your system
especially if it has been designed specifically for
your location. We carry adapters that should allow
us to tie into your sound. We sometimes use
lighting as facilities require. We also provide
back drops and our shows use colorful props.
Stage
requirements:
Ideally, a stage is wonderful! However we do not
necessarily need a stage or a theater situation. A clean vacant
store front, church, fire house or other building
with meeting space can be utilized. Seating is not
required but is preferable so people will be more
comfortable. Because our shows are prop intensive,
show area should be at ground level (not upstairs
or in basement) with easy access for loading and
unloading.
PARKING
CLOSE TO VENUE is a
requirement. Enough space needs to be available
to park a 32 ft motor home
Scheduling: Adequate
time needs to be
scheduled between acts for prop and equipment
changes! All too often there is much confusion,
misunderstandings, and short tempers as performers
try to bring their own equipment on stage while
someone else is performing. They are only trying to
fulfill their obligations to perform at their
schedule time. A
minimum of twenty to thirty minutes is needed to clear the stage,
bring in next performer’s equipment and tune
instruments. If you desire continuous
entertainment, a second stage needs to be provided.
Then one group can be setting up while the others
are performing.
Volunteers:
Because we
often use “victims…oops,
volunteers” from the audience, we need easy
access to any stage. We have found flatbed
trailers, hay wagons etc. are totally unsuitable
for our shows.
These tips and suggestions
come from many years of performing experience. They
are made to help you as you plan your next festival
or fun event.
