Thank you for choosing the Sooner Theatre as the site for your event. Please read all of these regulations and information completely. Please call the office manager, Kimberly Robb at (405) 321-9600 if you have any questions.
These are regulations that must be followed for preservation and upkeep of the stage and technical areas.
1) Do not place masking tape or duct tape to mark the stage. You may only use gaff tape, marking tape, or glow tape. You or your organization must supply these items or they may be purchased thought the theatre. The only other acceptable substitute for professional stage tape is plastic tape.
2) Please do not touch or move the genie lift or electrical box located on the stage. Please do not enter the fly rail area unless properly trained. These areas are off limits to all renters unless accompanied by or checked through a Sooner Theatre employee.
3) Please leave the stage area, and the light and soundboard area, as it was when you entered. This means that any props, tools, ladders or other things used or brought into the theatre. Also, please return the sound and light consoles to the positions they were when you entered. This means un-patching and re-patching the soundboard and retuning the EQ’s to their positions. Also, please clean and remove any items or trash from the dressing room areas.
4) Do not place or keep liquid items near or on the light and soundboards.

9) All promotional items, that include The Sooner Theatre logo or location information, must be approved by The Sooner Theatre Marketing Director before any promotional materials are dispersed.
10) The hanging marquee on the front of the building is for advertising productions and events of The Sooner Theatre and its partners and affiliates. This marquee can not be rented or acquired by individual renters of The Sooner Theatre.
11) If the use of the stage fly system is part of the rental needs you must have a certified rigger on head to operate or supervise the light hang and focus. If a technical assistant is needed to perform a light hang and focus or perform any rigging or design concepts there will be an additional charge.
12) No promotional or merchandise or any other posters or signs may be attached with tape or pins to the wood or plaster walls of this theatre. If this occurs there will be a damage fee additional charge.
13) The technical assistant must be the last person out of the building after a full building check. Also when the building is empty the person in charge of the rental and only that person must inspect the theatre with the technical assistant and complete the rental check lists.
14) The theatre should be clean when you enter it. Please leave it as clean as you found it. Your $50 cleaning fee covers things like cleaning the toilets and mopping the restrooms before and after your rental. If you have more than one performance on a day or in the course of your rental, it is your responsibility to clean the theatre in-between unless you have hired a cleaning crew through The Sooner Theatre for an extra fee.
15) If you would like a key, you must come by the business office between the hours of 9am and 5pm Monday through Friday not more than two days prior to your event to check out the key from the office manager unless other arrangements have been made.

SEVERE WEATHER
If a tornado siren sounds, keep the audience in the main part of the building, away from windows. If the size of your group permits (100 or fewer) move the audience to the dressing rooms beneath the stage.
FIRST AID
A first aid kit is located in the box office in the main lobby. There is also a first aid kit located in the dressing room beneath the stage. Ice is available from the freezer in the dressing room. The Sooner Theatre assumes neither responsibility nor liability for the administration of drugs or medical attention by non-qualified personnel.
OFFICE SUPPLIES
Please DO NOT take items from the Sooner Theatre offices or desks. The offices are not included as a part of your rental spaces and are OFF LIMITS to all renters. The copy machine, computers, and printers are NOT for public use. If you are operating a box office for your show, please make arrangements for your own change, tickets, receipts and deposit envelopes.
CONCESSION SUPPLIES
The concession area is OFF LIMITS. Please DO NOT take candy, soft drinks, coffee, condiments, popcorn, or paper products from the concessions area. If your cast or crew needs backstage food and/or drink, you should provide those for yourself.
JANITORIAL SUPPLIES
Extra supplies (trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) are stored in the janitor closet at the southeast corner of the auditorium. Vacuums, brooms and mops are also located in this closet and in the dressing rooms. It is not necessary for you to vacuum or mop after your event, please see paragraph 14 above. We ask only that you pick up after yourself, bag your trash or leave it in appropriate containers provided in the theatre, and take out what you brought into the theatre. We will not be responsible for items left in the building following your event. If you need to take trash out, the dumpster is located out the back of the theatre and down the ally to the right.
SECURITY
Be sure all doors to the outside are securely closed and locked before you leave. Be sure to check the door from which you exit to be sure it is locked behind you. The door in the back of the house will always be locked behind you, so it is a good choice to go out of after you have checked all the other doors. The west stage door must be carefully checked, as it can appear locked when it is not.
Thank you for you cooperation and understanding. |
