Newmarket Theatre Operating and Procedures Manual

1.3.2 Performance Contract - At the request of the THEATRE CO-ORDINATOR,
the LICENSEE shall produce any contract that it may have with an artist or
with a playwright royalties granting organization with regard to any question of
copyright or other matter which the THEATRE CO-ORDINATOR may deem
necessary to determine that the LICENSEE has completed arrangements for the
engagement.
1.4 OPENING HOURS FOR LOBBY
The LICENSEE agrees that the THEATRE will have the right to open the main lobby of
the theatre at least sixty (60) minutes before the advertised commencement of the event
and to permit patrons to be seated at least thirty (30) minutes in advance of the advertised
commencement of the event. At that time, all technical preparations, lighting and sound
checks, rehearsals and other activities will have been completed on the stage and in the
theatre.
1.5 CURTAIN TIME
The LICENSEE agrees to make every effort to begin the event within five minutes after
the announced commencement time. The THEATRE CO-ORDINATOR or designate, at
their discretion or when unforeseen circumstances dictate, will delay the start of the
performance for a reasonable period of time to allow the majority of patrons to be seated.
The THEATRE reserves the right to delay seating of latecomers until the first suitable
break in the performance.
1.6 LICENSEE REPRESENTATIVE
The LICENSEE will furnish to the THEATRE the name, address and phone number of
the LICENSEE’S representative. This representative will be the sole person authorized
to make decisions or to negotiate with the THEATRE. This representative, who must be
present at each performance, will then be the sole person authorized to resolve problems
and conflicts or to negotiate any alterations in performance procedure with the staff of the
THEATRE.
1.7 INTERMISSION
For all programs lasting one hour or more, the LICENSEE will schedule and allow an
intermission of not less than twenty (20) minutes, subject to modification by the
THEATRE. When necessary, due to unusual conditions, any show that is more than
seventy-five minutes (75) long and does not have an intermission may be charged an
additional Front-of-House fee.
1.8 OPEN REHEARSALS
Any rehearsal attended by more than twenty (20) non-essential personnel will be
considered a performance and the THEATRE unless approved in writing by the
THEATRE CO-ORDINATOR must be advised thirty (30) days in advance in order to
provide adequate staffing. The cost of these services will be borne by the LICENSEE.
