  • Think About Sight Lines
    Make sure the stage is clearly visible from every seat so the audience doesn't miss a moment of the show.
  • Ensure Accessibility
    Confirm if the venue offers accessible seating, entrances, restrooms, and parking options for all attendees.
  • Review Facility Use Policies
    Reviewing policies for setup/teardown, equipment use, and rehearsal/performance times helps everyone plan with a little more ease.
