The University Theatre Technical Rider FORM

The Technical Rider Form was developed to provide University Theatre staff the necessary information to begin making preparations for your event. The Technical Rider should be filled out completely, submitted and accepted no less than 1 month prior to your event. After the staff receives the form, you will be contacted about a production meeting to be held no less than 2 weeks prior to your event.

The Production Meeting will be a discussion about all your technical needs and planning of space usage for rehearsal and performance. Additional forms noted on this Technical Rider form by** (ei. lighting, recording, a/v equipment requirements) will be given at this time. Please note that dress rehearsals for an event are not only for the performers, but also the support crew to help them understand the logistics involved with the production. There will be NO dress rehearsals on the day of the event, unless approved by the technical director.

You can download a printable PDF of the Technical Rider form, or fill it out online below.
