Crew Notes
- All renters of the facility are required to hire one student crewperson for the duration of their time in the theatre. This is in addition to the Technical Director or the person working in his place.
- The user of the facility should work closely with the TD of PPAC to ensure that there will be a sufficient number of crew for the show. While the TD will make every effort to keep the number of crew people down, the TD does have the final say on numbers. These numbers may be changed up or down depending on the conditions brought about by the show. The renter will be responsible for all costs incurred.
- The crew hired to run your show will be students from the attached Pike High School, college students, or local professionals. The renter is responsible for all crew costs.
- The crew will be scheduled according to traditional stage hade rules. All calls are subject to a four-hour minimum. A fifteen minute break will be scheduled after two hours of work. A meal break will be scheduled after four ours of work and no later than five hours of work. A meal break is one hours off the clock. If no meal break is provided after five hours of work, all remaining time will be paid at time and one-half. There are no exceptions to this policy. Onstage activity may continue only at the discretion of the Technical Director.
- If any crew person works over 40 hours a week for one client, all remaining time will be paid a time and one half
- If any crew person works more than six consecutive days with no day off, all remaining days will be paid at time and one-half until they receive a day off
- All union stage hands are paid overtime after eight hours each day
- Any calls beginning prior to 8:00AM will be charged at time and one-half until 8:00AM
- All renters should check with the TD regarding any additional fees for his work in the theatre. The TD "comes with the building" for a limited number of hours, and all crew rules apply to him as well. The renter must pay for all "past building time" as well as any other overtime. The renter may also request lighting design or stage management services from the TD. Hourly rates for these additional services have been set for certain types of shows. These rates will be applied to any show that ends up needing to use the TD in these capacities. Please do not make the assumption that the TD of Pike PAC will also be the TD for our show.
- Any crewperson working in the theatre are subject to approval by the technical director. The user will agree that the Technical Director has the final say on who may or may not work on the stage or operate certain stage equipment. The TD may request a person's removal from the sage at any time.
Fly Line Schedule
NOTE:
- The Technical Director of Pike Performing Arts Center has the final say over all fly system operations. This includes crew, what position things are flown from, and whether something is safe to fly. Please consult with the TD about all fly system requirements prior to your load-in. Safety will always be the number one priority.
