ONE ACT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND RULES NOWAVAILABLE

We now have one-act technical specifications and rules availablefor all three spaces at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. Please notethat for the duration of the Festival, the space formerly known as the RehearsalHall will be known as the Don Jones Theatre.

TBPAC Rules

Clothing:We ask that ALL students dress as stagehands. The students should wear shoesthat cover the whole foot. So no open toes, sling/open back shoes, orsandals. Please no overly baggy clothing, skirts, or long hair hangingloose.
**The loading dock supervisor has the right to ask a student to sit out duringloading and unloading of the truck if he/she feels that a students clothing is apotential danger.

Directing trucks: Students are welcome to direct their school'struck into the loading dock. But the students should NEVER be on thesame level as the trucks. The students should direct the trucks form theupper level of the dock.

Conduct in the building: No one at any time should run anywhere in thebuilding. If there is an emergency find a host or someone else with aradio (like TBPAC security) to contact the person you need.
-The Don Jones Theater is not sound proof. As a courtesy to those performing inthe Don Jones Theater and those in the down stairs offices we ask that volume inthe hallways be kept to a minimum.

We ask that you follow these rules closely to avoid problems and injuries thatwe have had in the past.

We hope that everyone has a wonderful experience during his or her visit.

PARKING AT THE TBPAC

-All One Act and Main stage trucks are to park at the bagged metersclosest to the TBPAC.

-Any buses carrying students are to park at the bagged meters closest to theHoliday Inn.

-Please DO NOT block the stage door or loading dock with your truck or bus.

-Please have a large sign with the name of your school and your show displayedsomewhere on your truck so that a host can read it from the sidewalk.

-Your driver needs to be with the vehicle before the One Act competition andimmediately following it.

-A truck is only to move when a host indicates for that truck to move.

-Once a truck has unloaded or loaded it needs to move out of the dock as quicklyas possible to make room for the next truck.
