How long are the shows?

How long are the shows? Each show is approximately 45 to 50 minutes in length.

Are the performers available for a Q&A and/or pictures after the performance? Yes! This will need to be scheduled in advance.

Where should the performances take place? The performance space can be on a stage or gym floor, in an auditorium, cafeteria, library, large classroom, etc. Anywhere that can accommodate the production and your audience.

When should the performance space be available? The actors will need to have access to the venue 60 minutes prior to the performance to assemble the set and sound equipment. They will need 45 minutes after the performance to remove everything from the space.

What needs will the actors/crew have? Once they have access to the facility, the actors and crew are fairly self-sufficient. All we ask of you is to simply remain available. If this is not possible, designate one contact person who will be available for questions about technical aspects of the venue.

Will I need to provide any additional help with lighting or sound?  MAT shows are fully self contained and travel with their own sound equipment. If you would like for us to use your sound system, let the crew know when they first arrive at load-in. Lighting is up to you. All we ask is for the actors to be seen!

When should the performances take place? The suggested performance times are in the mid-late morning or early afternoon. However, the schedule can be adapted to fit the needs of each community.
