Located on the North side of Eddy between Taylor & Mason, a block from
the Powell St. BART Station, this is the 49-seat, true black box space of
the Eddy St Theatreplex that houses EXIT Theatre and EXIT Café as
well. The house is street level and, thus, is wheel-chair accessible.
The Space
See attached Spec Sheet and Ground Plan to check dimension specifics. With
curtains in full use, playing space is approximately 20' wide by 16' deep
and some wing space is available both Stage Right (SR) & Stage Left
(SL). On travelers, the curtains can be manipulated to change these dimensions
and expose the bare black wall. Be aware of the 12" column that runs
from floor to ceiling, is surrounded by a permanent climbing ladder and
is located DSL about 1.5' from the wall.
Entrances directly to stage can be made USL or DSL by way of the Ante Room. If used, the back curtain indicated above provides a concealed cross to enter SR. If this curtain is opened, no concealed access SR is available.
There is no fly-space, though lightweight items (no more than 25 lbs.) may be dead hung from the light grid above the stage. While the floor is wood, all walls are either sheet rock or lathe and plaster, so attachments are unavailable. You may not hang items or compromise the stage in any way without prior approval.
Dressing Room and Storage
Dressing Room Holds 6-7 comfortably and is located off USL. This room can
be entered through the Ante Room, the common hallway, or direct from Stage
and basically comprises the backstage area. The room provids basics such
as prop tables and ample mirror and counter space but no additional amenities.
There are no private restrooms or sinks backstage, so performers share general
washroom facilities with patrons and EXIT performers. There is no monitor
system, but stage noise can be heard in the dressing room. The entrance
to the EXIT Studio dressing room is through the EXIT Stage Left dressing
room.
Tech Capacities
Located House Right (HR) of the audience, the booth provides an adequate
view of most of the playing space (USL is relatively obscured from view).
There is a simple audio monitor (for stage noise) utilized. Windows can
be opened for ventilation (a fan is provided) or effect, but this obviously
makes sound more of an issue. Access to the booth is through the vestibule,
at house level.
Sound: CD player and a 12 channel Behringer mixing board allowing for cross
fades plus live mic hook-up or instrument amplification. I Again, please
contact me well before your tech to deal with feasibility issues. There
are 2 speakers dead-hung from the lighting grid at the back of the stage
that allow isolation left and right through the amp.
Lights: The board is a Leprecon 24 channel MANUAL 2 scene preset. Cues may
be cross-faded manually or run as internals. There is an independent channel,
add/bump buttons and a chaser. The house lights are on a separate dimmer
next to the board.
