Stage Floor
The stage deck is a wood deck covered in masonite. It has a series of traps built in at the center stage area. Call for exact placement. Pulling traps takes additional load in time. Consultation with the technical director is recommended.
The orchestra pit is set up on a LinkLift (rigid chain lift) and is adjustable from stage level down to 8'-6" below stage level. At stage level, the pit is the modified thrust area of the stage. At auditorium level, seats can be added to transition from modified thrust to proscenium seating. Lowered, the pit can hold an orchestra or can be equipped with a series of platforms that can be used to make a trappable area. Set up in this arrangement takes additional load in time and consultation with the technical director is required.
A full stage black/grey reversible dance floor is available for rental. Please call for price and availability.

The loading dock is located on Third Street, between San Fernando and San Carlos Avenues. It is equipped with a powered dock leveler. The roll-up door leading from the street into the loading dock is 20'0' wide X 14'6" high. A large rolling door is located between the loading dock and stage on the stage left side. This door is 16'5" wide X 19'6" high.
Metered street parking is available right outside the loading dock, and there are se veral surface lots and parking garages. The loading dock is not set up to park cars; however if there are no other events in the theatre, it may be possible to make other arrangements. Please call for details.

Communication
There are two stage management consoles (SMPs). One is located in the booth and the other is backstage and can be placed either stage right or stage left. The SMP has the access to the following:
- All switches for the house light/work light system. House lights, however, are run through the lighting board when we are in performance mode.
- Paging system to the house, backstage and lobby.
- Mutes for the monitor system to the lobby and backstage.
- Cue light system (we have 6 flexible/mobile cue lights and two hard-wired at the rail and in the trap room).
- 4-channel Clear-Com system
Communication between stage management, house management, the box office and facilities happens via a single-channel Motorola two-way radio.
Crews
The stage crew at the Rep is a mix of IA and professional, non-union employees. Please see the production manager for more details.
