Technical requirements for Sisters of the Quill and Skillet:

Staging

     Regular theater stage (thrust, proscenium, amphitheater)
preferred if available.  In hotels/other institutional meeting room
settings, a stage can be formed with standard risers 18-24" high
resulting in a platform approximately 8-12' deep x 12-16' wide. If
the room has mirrors on the wall, either have the stage set up
against a non-mirrored wall or ask that the mirrors be covered.

     If staging venue is a school or business auditorium or a large
proscenium stage, it is helpful to diminish the large area through
use of curtains or screens so that the single character isn't
swallowed up by the space.

     I will need to have access to the staging area/dressing room,
with all props available, 2 hours before doors open or before any
other activity in that room that precedes the show.

Lighting

     Simple lighting requirements.  Where stage lights are
available, we might want to use amber or rose gels to soften the
stage.  A short technical rehearsal with your lighting person is
sufficient to set the lights.  Apart from the beginning and end of
show, there are no light cues during the performance.

Props

     The sponsor is asked to provide the following:

     --table that can reasonably look like a kitchen table (I'll
bring tablecloth to cover)
     --two "kitchen" chairs
     --kitchen broom
     --[optional] refrigerator.  Some theater departments may have
a refrigerator around as a prop used in their plays.  If one is
handy, that would be great.  But I don't expect that to happen very
often.  Otherwise, I'll bring the "illusion of refrigerator" with
me.
     --small boom box that plays audiotapes or CDs.  If we run sound
through the house system, it will just be used as a prop.  If not,
it will need to be in working order.
     --a box approximately 18"x11"x9" (this is size of a box
holding 8 reams of copy paper) or bigger.  Preferably it would have
the top or flaps that interlock to make a top.  It can be old and
beat up looking since it purportedly is from the attic.

Amplification

     When amplification is necessary, I need to use a wireless
lavalier body microphone (with a new battery).

Dressing Room

     When possible, a stage dressing room with toilet facilities,
mirrors, and lights is requested.  In other settings without stage
dressing rooms, please provide a private dressing area with an
adequate mirror for applying makeup.  At events held in hotels, the
management sometimes provides a complimentary room that could serve
this purpose.  Or, if I'm staying at that hotel, I can just dress
in my room.
