(FOR SHOWINGS AND PERFORMANCES ONLY)

The Martha Graham Studio Theater's TD will pre-set the space in a standard black box configuration. The TD will troubleshoot any sound, lighting, or other technical equipment issues, and will assist in the restoration of the space back to its original configuration. The TD may be able to also serve as sound board operator, depending on the complexity of the performance, but will not substitute for a Stage Manager or Lighting Designer/Supervisor position.

A mandatory fee of $250 will cover the expense of a technical director for up to four (4) hours. There will be an additional charge for any rentals that exceed four hours. For more information, please contact rentals@marthagraham.org.
