There is raked mobile seating unit that can be positioned at either end of the hall depending on your requirements. Many people requiring more room for their show position the unit looking away from the stage and position the performance area at the far end of the hall on the floor. The seating can also be closed giving access to the whole space.   We also have a portable stage of 9 6x4 staging units   DIMENSIONS The Hall itself measures 14.9m x 9.09m The seating unit is 6.2m deep x 6.35m wide. The stage is 4.88m deep x 4.47m wide and has a slight rake. There is a 2.5m wide wing Stage Left, but no wing Stage Right. The Proscenium Arch opening on the stage measures 4.47m wide and is 4.9 m high If you intend to Perform on the floor with the seating unit positioned looking away from the stage: The Performance space is approx 7m deep x 9m wide. The height of the LX bars in the hall is 4.9m DRAPES and MASKING Madcap does not currently have any masking flats or drapes. However running around the perimeter of the room is a double tab track, with an off-white cotton cyclorama and full blacks allowing the walls of the hall itself to be black. If the performance is on the floor opposite the stage then the performance can be backed with either blacks or the cyclorama, and allows room for a small crossover. RIGGING All bars 48mm O/D.
