POP-UP TERMS

Pop-up events in the Studio provide an exciting opportunity for flexible productions to reserve performance space without any rental expense. Instead of a rental fee, any profits from the event are paid to A2CT. Pop-ups are also appropriate for “suggested donation” events planned by A2CT members. 

Membership Requirement: At least one person organizing the event must be a current A2CT member in good standing. The sponsoring member is considered the responsible party and will coordinate communications between A2CT’s Committees, Staff and Board. The responsible party should also set a date for orientation, if needed, upon signing of the agreement.

Production: Pop-ups are produced by the group using the space.

Contract: A fully executed and signed Studio Use Agreement must be received by A2CT at least six weeks prior to the event. 

Auditions: Auditions are not required for pop-up events.

Rehearsals: Rehearsal space and scheduling are the sole responsibility of the pop-up organizers. Final dress rehearsals in the A2CT Studio may be allowed if the schedule permits - such requests should be made when the pop-up is approved.

Publicity: A2CT may publicize pop-up events at the Marketing Committee’s discretion, with the permission of the pop-up organizers.

Income: There is no rental fee associated with pop-up events. Instead, pop-ups may recoup the cost of securing rights (and other reasonable costs) and donate all profits over and above direct costs to A2CT. 

Budgets: Pop-up budgets should be submitted to the Programming Committee with this signed agreement and A2CT will reimburse the production for agreed upon expenses. The cost of production may not exceed actual ticketing income.

Technical Equipment: The Facilities Committee provides orientation on A2CT’s technical equipment. An orientation session will be provided at least two weeks prior to the event date or upon signing of this agreement.

Lights: Pop-ups may use the stage lights, but must keep the “house hang” except by special permission of the Facilities Committee.

Sound: Sound system may be used. 

Other Production Elements: Requests to use the A2CT projector, scene shop, and shop tools, as well as use of existing set pieces, props, or costumes requires special separate permission of the Facilities Committee.

Risers: Pop-up events may use the Studio risers - the Facilities Committee will provide instructions for bringing them down off the loft and setting them up safely.
