The Performing Arts Center at Victor J. Andrew High School is available to rent during the months of September through May.  The Performing Arts Center is a proscenium theatre space with a house that can accommodate 704 people, including nine spaces on the main floor for patrons that require handicapped accessibility.  The balcony level accommodates 214 people (included in the total number of 704 seats). 

The proscenium opening is 50' wide by 25' high and trim height for the grand teaser is typically set at 18'.  There are 20 single purchase line-sets and all other borders and electrics are trimmed accordingly.  The stage provides a playable depth of 32' with an additional depth of 13' at the deepest portion of the arched apron.  The mid-traveler and the rear traveler provide two additional opportunities for full stage masking.  The right wing has a usable width of 10' and a depth of 25' and the left wing has a usable width of 7' and a depth of 24'.  Available wing space is contingent upon other users of the facility and Andrew High School events take priority spacing.  Any hung scenery or other objects must have prior approval by the Auditorium Director before they can be brought into the facility.

The Performing Arts Center has an array of lighting, sound and projection equipment that may also be rented.  Please contact the Auditorium Director for a complete listing of available equipment and operating consoles.  Four onstage electrics are typically available for use of specials and the pre-hung plot is standard in the four-wall rental fee, as are hanging locations along the balcony railing, box-booms in the house (located near the proscenium opening) and two catwalks above the seating area.  Lighting booms are also available on the stage itself.  Acoustical panels are available on both levels of the house for added sound control.  The spotlight booth is located on the third floor and the tech booth (lighting and sound) is located on the main level.

There are two dressing rooms located backstage and, at certain times of the year, there is also limited storage space for extended-run events.  A ground-level loading dock is available for extensive load-ins.  The stage is easily accessible via the loading dock.

Rentals are broken down by category, including District 230 sponsored groups, approved community groups, not-for-profit groups and for-profit groups.  Interested parties must contact the Auditorium Director for assistance in determining their category and the associated fee structure.
