Restrictions and Requirements for Pre-Shows


Check in
You will be required to meet with our Pre Show Staging Manager at the All-Star cast rehearsal on Saturday evening. If you do not provide us with your music or DVD in advance of the convention, you will also need to meet with our A/V techs – since we need to prepare A/V well in advance, ALL music / video must be provided to us by or at the time the named contact (you) checks in at con registration, or we will cancel your performance. We strongly recommend you send us any music or video in advance because of this.

At your assigned performance time on Saturday night, your contact person must be ready and check in with our Pre Show Staging Manager 10 minutes in advance of your scheduled performance time to confirm that your act and all performers are ready. Acts not checked in before the preceding act starts will be skipped and re-blocked in later in the performance sequence - acts not ready by the end of the sequence will be cancelled.

Pre-Shows
The theme and subject matter MUST be related to Rocky Horror, Shock Treatment, or the fandom in some easily identifiable way. You may do performances that you have done before, however new performances will be given preference if time becomes a limiting factor during scheduling (though any performance we block will be allowed to occur even if we run late, as long as you have checked in).

General Restrictions
Nudity will not be allowed. If you can't get away with the same degree of coverage as on a public beach, you may not be like that on our stage.

We do not allow silly string, blood (fake or real), "wet" or difficult to clean up foods, liquids that stain, or any sticky / perishable projectiles to be thrown in the direction of the screen or audience. Any performances found to contain these, or other actions that damage equipment or property not yours will be immediately halted and you risk possible ejection from our convention!

Time/Setup Restrictions
We recommend no more than an 5-8 minute pre show or act – all pre-show acts will be scheduled in advance, so it is VERY important we know the approximate length of your performance.

We will allow props and limited set pieces, but you will only be given two minutes maximum to set up whatever you may need for any performance you have. Consideration will be given to anything that may require longer to do, but you must describe in detail to us what you will need and plan to do. We’re sorry, no storage of props/sets/costumes/instruments will be allowed in the theatre at any time other than during the performance blocks, and they must be out of the way during all other acts or performers when they are performing.

The Vicarious Theatre Company LLC & the Admiral Theatre claim no responsibility for any property lost/tossed/broken during your performance, including personal injury. We will, however, hold any convention attendants or performers responsible for any damages caused by them. Please note any other terms and restrictions on our web site.

You will be required to sign your application on site at registration check in time to note that you have agreed to our terms and restrictions.
