PUBLIC RENTALS: Any public rental is a self-presenting situation. Renter will assume responsibility for promotion, running lights/sound/box office, set up chairs, and clean up and all staffing needs. An on-duty caretaker will open/close space, but there is no staff to assist you with running your event.

If you plan to use our sound system, we prefer that you hire one of our approved audio technicians. Their fees vary depending on the individual and the complexity of your event, but the average fee is about $150 per night. You contract with them directly, and we do not take a cut of their fee. While this adds some extra expense, it saves you the potential cost of having to replace or repair equipment that is damaged during your event; if our technician breaks something, you are not responsible. If you prefer to hire someone who is not on our tech list, they will need to come in a week or two before your show for a walk-through of the system.

PIANO: Steinway Model M. If you want the piano tuned, it is your responsibility to coordinate with our Operations Director and pay for that. You can hire your own tuner, or we can recommend one.

MUSIC STANDS: We usually have about 2-3 Manhassett music stands (they come and go), but no stand lights.

LIGHTING: Hall has dimmable wall sconces and two stages of dimmable overhead lighting. Stage Lights are hung on two vertical bars on either side of stage at mid-room for stage lighting. Our lighting plot is set to a standard stage wash that works well for most shows. Renters may not make changes to our standard lighting plot; you must use it as is.

Control console – Elation Professional Stage Setter-8, no scene presets, DMX protocol output to 1.2 kW capacity dimmers. The control board is very easy to operate, and there are directions posted in sound booth.
