Staffing
The Wyllyotts Centre provide 2 technical staff on site at all times whilst you are occupying the building. They are both there to advise on the best or easiest way to achieve the result you require. They can train any of your technical staff, stage crew or stage management in the correct operation of the theatre systems and will be on hand throughout your time with us in case of any problems. They cannot, however, actually design your lighting, sound or staging as they have other work to complete for the centre. Neither can they actually operate any equipment for you during a performance as they have other duties to perform at that time.
The Wyllyotts Centre can provide rigging / operating crew for you, if you require, but this will be at additional cost to your company. Details of current crew costs can be obtained from the Technical Manager. We endeavour to keep these as low as possible for you, but this requires detailed information and good organisation on your part.
