Stage

Flying facilities at St Georges are 5 electric winch lighting bars over the stage. 3 of these LX bars are available to be used for rigging lights (LX1, 2, 3). LX4 carries a projector screen and LX5 is also available for rigging but is positioned behind the curtain so may not be suitable for all shows where a crossover is needed.

Please note that there is no real wing space, although the tabs can be moved around the track which runs around the edge of the performance space, and we also have some custom-made book flats which can be positioned to suit your performance. Entrances and exits are made up the steps on stage right and stage left. There is no entrance up stage centre but moving the tabs down stage and pulling LX5 up stage of them can create a crossover.

Parking
The Theatre has a staff parking bay and a loading bay. The loading bay is accessed through removable bollards, please either check inside by using the staff door in the south side of the theatre or contact your venue technician or representative.

The loading bay is on the northern side of the theatre and the accessway to the car park is located on the road east of the building, please be aware that this is a one-way road and to get to it you may have to circle around the block via the road west to the theatre.

The bay has room for 10 medium sized vehicles such as cars or vans, please not that lorries may reduce this capacity. The door from the loading bay goes into stage right wings and dressing room and only has accessibility by stairs, if you wish to unload directly into the theatre, please bring a suitable ramp.
