| Theatres Rental Contact Community and Cultural Services Director Tom Mitze at (805) 449-2707 to discuss available dates and which theatre is appropriate for your type of event. He will also review the estimated cost for your particular event. (Theatre rental costs are listed below.)
If you wish, you may make arrangements with the Community and Cultural Services (CCS) Director to tour both theatres and meet with the Technical Services Manager to answer any technical questions and give you a cost estimate.
Once a date has been determined, you will receive a contract for your event from the CCS Department. The contract will contain a cost estimate for your event.
Read the contract carefully, sign where indicated, and send both copies back to the CCS Department along with the deposit requested. We will send you a countersigned original contract for your files.
If you would like our Box Office to handle your ticket printing and/or sales, or wish to be included in the Calendar of Events, website, e-newsletter, marquee and TOTV scrolling billboard of events, contact the Box Office Supervisor at (805) 449-2725.
You must furnish the CCS Department with a Certificate of Insurance to cover your event. If you do not have insurance, you may call for a quote and purchase it through the CCS Department Executive Secretary at 805-449-2700.
Fourteen days prior to your event, send the balance due to the CCS Department.
The Technical Production Manager will contact you to discuss specific arrangements for your event.
Following your event, the actual costs of the production will be calculated. You will receive a check if you have overpaid the CCS Department, or a bill if you have a balance due. | Theatre Rental Costs | Fred Kavli Theatre | Scherr Forum | | (1,800 seats) | | (394 seats) | | | Rent | $2,750/perf | | $600/perf | | | Rent for a 2nd perf same day | $1,350 | | $300 | | | Performance Day Rehearsal | N/C | | N/C | | | Non-Performance Day Rehearsal | $1,350 | | $300 | | | Rehearsal Room | $150 | | $150 | | | Commercial Film, Tape or Live Broadcast | $7,000 | | $3,500 | | | | | | | | Technical Labor | | | | | | Technical Director | $88/hr. | | $88/hr. | | | Stage Supervisor | $66/hr. | | $66/hr. | | | Head Carpenter | $62/hr. | | $62/hr. | | | Head Electrician | $62/hr. | | $62/hr. | | | Head Audio | $62/hr. | | $62/hr. | | | Follow Spot Operators | $30/hr. | | $30/hr. | | | Stagehands | $30/hr. | | $30/hr. | | | | | | | | Front of House | | | | | | House Manager | $350/perf. | | $100/perf. | | | Staff Ushers | $15/hr. ea. | | N/A | | | Staff Custodian | $25/hr. | | $25/hr. | | | Contract Maintenance | $500/perf. | | $100/perf. | | | $300/rehearsal | | | | | | | | Equipment/Supply Charges | | | | | Piano Tuning | $150/prf. | | $150/perf. | | | Lamp Use (Electricity) | $100/perf. | | $50/perf. | | | Orchestra Shell Use | $700 | | $150 | | | | | | | | Box Office Services (Optional) | | | | | Printing of tickets only | $300/perf. | | $85/perf. | | | Printing & selling tickets | $1050/perf. | | $235/perf. | | | | | | | | Patron Fees | | | | | | Parking | $8.00 | | | | Facility Fee | $4.00 per single ticket | | |
