The Renter's Handbook is arranged to provide as much information as possible to those who need it. Each performance space has a separate section detailing its specifications, followed by general information about the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA with which all users should familiarize themselves. Inventories referenced throughout can be found in the Appendices in the back of the Handbook.

This document is updated each year in the summertime.

For the 2026-2027 season, the lighting inventories all received an upgrade

Last updated 12-September-2026, effective through 30-June-2027

Initially on July 1, 2026 a new edition of this document was published. We moved on to a v2 with updated inventories at the end of July without any subtractions, only additions to the theatre inventories.

Another update to the renter's handbook was made in September when new lighting consoles were purchased for both theatre spaces. No other changes.

We understand that the Renter's Handbook can be lengthy, and not everyone on staff needs to know every detail. This condensed document takes the most important points including schedule expectations, guidelines for all production departments, load in/out, and general building use policies. Every production staff member should be familiar with these guidelines and managers should distribute this information to anyone working in the venue. We ask that production managers distribute this document to those working in the space.
