Can we bring outside equipment? Yes, but it must be approved by the Venue Director at least two weeks prior to your event.
Can we sell alcohol/concessions? No food is allowed in the theatres, but concessions may be sold in the lobbies, or other spaces. Prepared food will require a licensed caterer. All alcohol purchasing and distribution must be handled by CAC.
Is there WiFi? Wifi available upon request.
Can I get into the space before my scheduled time? Unfortunately, we cannot provide that because crew is scheduled in advance with a 4 hour minimum shift.
Do you have projection? What should I bring my A/V material on? Yes. CAC requires that all A/V material be provided on a USB thumb drive in MP3 or MP4 format. No CDs, MP3 Players, computers or cellphones.
