| The Kaufmann Concert Hall is equipped with a complete stage lighting system including standard hanging positions, instruments, cable and dimmer control. The system is available for scheduled performances in the Hall. The producer of the event will be charged by the hour for the personnel necessary to set up, focus and operate the equipment and to strike and restore any unusual setup. Rental of equipment not in the current inventory and purchases of color media, templates, etc., will be the producer's responsibility. |
 |
| A house plot is available showing all hanging positions to scale and a typical arrangement of instruments. We do not guarantee that this suggested plot will always be available, nor do we discourage companies from specifying their own plot. However, for maximum efficiency, companies should carefully review the enclosed information and submit a detailed plot, hookup and color list to the Kaufmann Concert Hall Backstage Office at least two weeks before the performance date. Please include a contact sheet i.e.: lighting designer, production designer, etc., so they can answer any questions we have about the setup. |

| Notes for Designers |
|
| To achieve an efficient and successful setup in our hall, the following suggestions are offered: |
|
| The instrumentation shown on the house plot represents our recommendations for the best use of our equipment for a standard production. In general, plots that follow this basic outline will require a minimum of setup time. |
|
| We have utilized almost all circuits for the house plot, so time is needed when adding instruments in other locations. |
|
| If you would like to utilize our stock of color media, please specify Roscolux color, this is what we maintain in our inventory. We will prepare as much as possible from our stock of cut color; the balance will be purchased, charged to the producer, and will remain in our stock at the end of the run. If you provide all color you may, of course, take it with you when you leave. If you prepare a cut list for us, please note cut size and categorize them separately on the list. |
