Auditoriums

Food and beverages are not allowed inside the PAC or the MSA. We ask that groups renting the spaces monitor their patrons, and oversee requesting from them that no food or beverages be brought in. If food and/or beverage is brought into the venue space, an additional cost may be incurred for cleaning, and the guest may be subject to denial for future rental requests. No food can be prepared on site, nor can food be sold unless it is pre-packaged and approved prior to the approval of the contract. 

Basic lighting and sound is provided as part of your rental agreement. District 12 provides a basic "wash" of lights on stage, and general audio sound (microphones, playing of music, projection audio). Any additional sound or light element needs may incur a lighting or sound design cost, especially if the event requires rehearsal, or requires the PAC Coordinator/Technical Director, to be a part of the show or event in a way that they are helping design, or providing creative input of your show or event. 

All tech, sounds, lights, stage set-up curtains are handled by the PAC Coordinator/Technical Director. Guests renting the venues may not bring in their own technicians, nor do we permit the guest access to the tech booth. 

We ask that the guest not move anything in the venue without permission, or a pre-arranged agreement, such as closing and shutting curtains, moving set pieces, moving anything backstage or in the lobby to a different location, using equipment or supplies that belong to the venue, or setting up or moving tables or chairs. If there are needs that occur the day of the rental that were unforeseen, we ask that all requests for needs that were not pre-arranged, be asked of, and go through the onsite PAC Coordinator, who will gladly do their best to accommodate those needs if they can. 

The high school Learning Commons and other rooms are available for use in conjunction with use of the PAC for an additional fee. Additional middle school rooms are available for use in conjunction with use of the MSA for an additional fee. 

Groups are required to schedule a meeting with the PAC/MSA technician to discuss and plan activities prior to use of the facility.
