The multicore run is just less than 50m and runs in a conduit around the outside wall of the auditorium - simple!
Load in is easy. Vehicles park on a private road and unload via a ramp (we have one) onto a platform through the dock doors straight onto stage left.
Stage
The Theatre Stage is of wooden construction and is not raked. The opening is 35ft (10.7m) wide and the maximum depth is also 35ft (10.7m) including the covered Orchestra Pit and allowing for a crossover.
Space off stage left is plentiful but off stage right is limited.
Flying
There is a counterweight flybar system comprising of 30 bars.
Orchestra Pit
The Orchestra Pit extends the whole width of down stage and can hold approximately 16 musicians. Further musicians can be accommodated in the understage area adjacent to the orchestra pit. The area is coverable to extend the usable depth of the stage if the pit is not required.
Steps from the stage to the auditorium are available if required.
Dressing Rooms
Weymouth Pavilion has 13 dressing rooms of varying sizes. One on stage level, two underneath the stage and ten distributed over 3 floors. The stage level room can also be utilised as a quick change area.
Mains
3 phase 125A touring lighting power is situated up stage right.
Touring sound power is situated down stage left and is a selection of 16A, 32A and 63A single phase Ceeforms.
Equipment
Weymouth Pavilion has a fairly substantial stock of lighting and sound equipment.
If you are not touring your own equipment we can cope with most requests!
All touring systems PA systems need to be groundstacked as there are no flying points available at this time - it is something we are aware of and will get round to soon!
The Circle will be open for the majority of performances so the installed Turbosound system and can be tied into for coverage.
