RENTALS & COLLABORATIONS
The C. H. Douglas and Gray Wealth Management Main Stage
We are happy to collaborate and support other like-minded theatre companies who need a space to rehearse or perform with the option to rent the Fonseca Theatre or the Basile Collaboration Center.

Our standard rate for the C.H. Douglas & Gray Wealth Management theatre is $750/week for the Main Stage. We include access to a color changing lighting system within a repertory plot. We do not offer single day or “just weekend” rentals for the main stage theatre. Rental Hours are 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm on weekdays (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) and 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm on weekends (Saturday and Sunday).
We do not provide box office or concession services. We do not take a percentage of your sales. Indiana State law requires you to have a “Beer and Wine” license to sell those beverages.

Rental Times and Days
Rental days and times for both spaces are afternoon and evenings, Tuesday through Sunday for a full week. We do not rent the Main Stage for less than a full week and we do not grant twenty-four hour a day access during rentals. You must be fully struck with all equipment (sets, props etc.) removed from the property by the end of your last rental day. Filling our dumpster with your set and props is not an option. Both spaces are closed on Mondays with no rehearsals, rentals or performances allowed.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The C.H. Douglas and Gray Wealth Management Main Stage
FTC is a small proscenium theatre with a fixed grid at 13 feet and a fixed repertory lighting, sound, and projection plot. Units cannot be moved but can be refocused. The back wall and side walls of the stage are covered with black velour curtains. There are no AutoCAD or Vector Works drawings available currently. Multiple layer PDN drawings with measurements and a lighting instrument schedule are available upon request.
The stage is 22 feet by 22 feet, the proscenium portal is 10′ 9″ high and 15′ 7″ wide, with four-foot of open wing space on either side. The platform deck is wall-to-wall and sits one-half inch off the floor. You may screw to the floor, but you cannot use lag bolts. The walls of the theatre behind the curtains are red brick and you may not screw or lag into them.
The Dressing Room area can accommodate up to eight performers.
Lighting units are a mixture of Altman ellipsoidal 6×12/6x9s, S4 Color Lime and Rush Par Color Zooms.
The sound system is an analog sound board with five speakers. One speaker is over house, and four are on stage (DSL, DSR, USL, USR). We have a Shure body-mic system with eight body-mics using Countrymen style mic elements, though we don’t tend to use body-mics with our indoor stage.
Control systems are ETC ION lighting system and Q-Lab for sound and video. Both systems are networked together allowing for single button push “go” via Q-Lab once the performance operator takes over.
FTC does not provide technical personnel, designers (sets, props, light, sound, costumes or video), construction crews, load-in/out crew or backstage crews or board operators for renters. Renters are responsible for providing their own skilled personnel.
