Stage Specifications
General: The Concert Hall is not a true proscenium stage. It is a concert performance hall complete with a permanent acoustical shell which consists of inward sloping side walls and movable acoustical ceilings. Ceiling heights are adjustable, but their angle is not. There are no unique sightline problems.
Stage to Ceiling Height: 50'-0"
Acoustical Ceiling Height: Adjustable (4 panels)
Stage Width at Curtain Line: 74'-0"
Upstage Wall Stage Width: 38'-0" due to side walls
Depth - Curtain Line to Back Wall: 39'-0"
Depth - Downstage Edge to Curtain Line: 6'-6"
Orchestra Pit Lift: The pit lift is a screwjack style lift, curved at the downstage edge to form a flattened semi-circle. It actually consists of two lifts—a main lift plus one smaller curved upstage lift that is carried by the main lift. The main lift has three stops: stage (useful as a stage extension or apron, and most common position), audience (when pit seats are installed or to create a space between the front of the stage and audience) and orchestra pit (for a pit orchestra). The smaller, upstage lift can travel to stage level when the pit is at audience level, allowing a small stage extension or apron when orchestra pit seats are installed.
Upstage edge, both lifts: 55'-9"
Width of upstage lift: 41'-8"
Total depth at center (widest point): 12'-10"
Depth of upstage lift: 7'-10"
Stage to pit at audience level: 3'-0"
Stage to pit at orchestra level: 9'-0"
Orchestra Pit: When the pit lift is at orchestra level, there is additional space underneath the stage for orchestras. The floor is concrete and extends upstage 12' and is the full width of the pit lift.
Stage Floor: The stage floor is maple and stained dark brown with satin polyurethane finish. Several rolls of black marley dance floor are available for rental. Use of fasteners on the floor must be negotiated. Cloth tapes are required no duct or masking tapes.
Acoustic Shell: The side walls of the shell extend from just upstage of curtain line to approximately 3' from the upstage wall. They both slope inward toward the stage as they rise in height and taper the stage width from 74'-0" at curtain line to 38'-0" at the back wall. The downstage walls have built in door openings which can be opened to the width of a single or double door. The downstage, upstage and center two walls may be opened to facilitate stage changes or create entrances. The walls pivot and open offstage. They are medium wood tone veneer. No fasteners of any kind may be used on the walls.
Rigging
The Concert Hall does not have a fly system. However, there are three motorized pipes between each of the acoustical ceilings that have electrics raceways built in to them, and one motorized pipe between the upstage cloud and upstage wall without electrics. No items may be rigged from the acoustical ceilings. Acoustical ceilings and structures in catwalks limit any additional points. Motorized pipes are controlled from stage manager's panel stage right. In normal stage configuration, the electrics are hung with Source Four Pars for the overhead wash.
First Electric (Downstage): 60'-0" long -- Working Load Limit: 1200 lbs.
Second Electric: 52'-0" long -- Working Load Limit: 1400 lbs
Third Electric: 36'-0" long -- Working Load Limit: 1600 lbs
