Theatre Specifications

Hours for access need to be negotiated with JAC and, typically, the space can be booked in 4 hour blocks as follows:
9am to 1pm
2pm to 6pm
7pm to 11pm

JAC is wheelchair accessible.

A technical director (TD) representating JAC must be present whenever technical equipment and other inventory are being accessed by Guest Productions.

The TD has an extensive knowledge of the equipment, facilities and capabilities of JAC and can assist in planning and set-up of productions. TD hours must be negotiated in advance to define the scope of work and the estimated hours required. Time is charged at the reasonable rate set by JAC and this cost is in additional to any rates defined in the Guest contract.

A Technical Operater (TO) is to be provided by the Guest Production to run lighting and sound for all performances. The TO must have a basic knowledge of the equipment in JAC and experience in its operation during tech and performances.

Under COVID 19 protocols we expect to start the season with a maximum of 50 audience members and the ability to simultaneously live stream performances on the internet.

In normal times The Jericho Arts Centre is a multi-purpose facility permitting audience seating in a wide variety of formats up to 146 seats.

The JAC currently has audience risers in 5 levels at the following heights:
8 inches 15 inches 22 inches 29 inches 36 inches
There are 4 risers at each height. Each height may be bolted together to forn one complete unit 32 feet wide. They may also be separated into 2 units 16 feet wide or 4 individual units 8 feet wide. These risers are not to be used, touched, taken apart, moved or painted without prior arrangement with the company Technical Director. These are also not to be used as stage risers.
