Our performance studio is suitable for and equipped to support a variety of activities and events such as:

Rock band concerts or dance parties, etc). Musical performances that are part of events such as talent shows and fund raisers are exempt from the above. If in doubt, please call the school for clarification.

Theatre Floor Plan:

Theatre Technician: Facility rentals include the availability of one on-site facility technician. In addition to their supervisory and maintenance roles, this person is available as a technical advisor and reference resource
person with respect to the use of the facility and its equipment. Basic rental does not include or assume their direct involvement in a support or production role (ie. operating sound or light board during performance, creating or adjusting lighting design, etc).
Should you require such assistance, Act One will be happy to arrange it for a reasonable additional fee.
Additional A/V and Other Equipment Requirements: Act One has relationships with a number of established and highly professional A/V, performance and other theatrical oragnizations. We can assist with the provisioning of many unique and specific requirements. Please be aware that these can require some lead time so if you do require our assistance, please advise us as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
Refreshments: Act One permits users to offer or sell refreshments and minor snacks during their events. These can be made available in our reception area. Please be aware however that we have restrictions on what types of drinks and food can be consumed in the main studio. This is due to hygene and cleanliness requirements. Users can request this be waived by the provision of an additional damage deposit specifically posted in case of the need to arrange for professional cleaning of any food and drink spillage and staining.
