One-Act Play Director’s Checklist:
Bring this with you and have it ready PRIOR to your Official Rehearsal:
*The entry fee is separate from the Region Academic Meet entry fees. The entry fee will be made out to Atascocita High School (the Contest Site). Please call if further clarification is needed. Payment must be made to AHS the day of the contest.
Site Information:
UNIT SET: The basic unit set will be available to all schools. A right-hung door [1], left-hung door [1], window [1], and French door [1] unit will be available at the site. Photos of the AHS Unit Set are on the AHS Theatre Website.
SOUND: The AHS Tech Booth has a Soundcraft Series Two Sound Board (Soundcraft Website) with the ability to play: one CD and two Cassette Tapes. MP3 players provided by the competing schools can be plugged into the system using the “earphone” jack. Due to the unusual lay-out of the sound system (the CD player is at floor level), schools are encouraged to bring their own sound equipment.
LIGHTS: The AHS Tech Booth is equipped with an ETC Express 48/96 board (ETC Website). The board will be set as a Two Scene Preset. Schools may record light cues at their official rehearsal, but may not record submasters. See the attached light plot for more light information.
STAGE DIMENSIONS: The stage dimensions and distances between curtains are listed on the attached light plot. Only the black Back Drape will be used for this contest. The house dimensions follow the light plot. The AHS Performing Arts Center seats 713 people.
UNLOAD: Schools should unload at the AHS Theatre Scene Shop located in the back of the school. If you enter on Will Clayton Pkwy, drive all the way around the school to the dock area. If you enter from West Lake Houston Pkwy, the loading dock is in the middle of that parking lot.
AUDIENCE: Tickets are $10 and are good for all six performances. Audience members should enter through the AHS Performing Arts Center/Gymnasium entrance. If entering from Will Clayton Pkwy, take a right past the main entrance and drive ½ way around the school. Signs will clearly indicate this entrance. Audience members will NOT be allowed to enter through the loading dock/fine arts wing entrance at the back of the school (nearest West Lake Houston Pkwy).
