TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

There are no flying facilities at The SandPit. The grid is fixed and open. Please note that there is no real wing-space in the SandPit, although the tabs can be opened to any width. Entrances and exits are made through the doors in the back wall.
The back wall is painted white, with a door CS, one SR and one SL. Upstage tabs, black, 1.00m from wall, manually operated from SR. House tabs, blue, 6.10m from back wall, manually operated from SR.
Dressing rooms and backstage area
Backstage space at the SandPit is very limited, with no designated dressing rooms. We can provide a number of music rehearsal rooms for use as dressing rooms or storage. We also have a wide backstage corridor and a store room for your use.
The Get In is via the fire doors either in the auditorium or backstage. Fire door opening measures 1.43x1.95m.
Seating
The standard layout for the auditorium at maximum capacity seats 268 people in eleven straight rows, raked from floor/stage level to a maximum height of 1.85m. Please note that you may not use the front row if you intend to draw the house tabs.
The rake is built from TopDeck modular staging and can be rearranged into a number of different layouts (safety and fire regulations permitting) although this is extremely time consuming and is not recommended for short term hires, and also incurs an extra cost.
There is no public seating on the balcony.
A full list of techncial equipment can be supplied on request. |
