  • The production is to be billed alone, no opening act needed.

  • The production can travel by bus or plane (but flights must be 1 day before show).

  • The production features at least one special guest performer, chosen by Sasha. This is not an “opener” slot, they are integrated into the performance.

  • A pre-show VIP Meet & Greet is an available option (maximum 60 patrons).

  • Artist typically does a post-show signing of merchandise which is managed by the Company with simple venue needs.

MINIMUM TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

SCENIC

  • Proscenium style masking with at least one set of legs and enough for sightline coverage in the wings

  • Full black curtain behind the projection surface (quick changes happen upstage of this black curtain) minimum of 3M from back wall.

  • Company travels with two major elements, a 20” wide projection surface (ground supported) and a false proscenium (curtain) that needs to be hung downstage of that

LIGHTING

  • Spotlight strong enough to compete with projector, in a center position in the space (not further than 8’ off center).

  • Tour will travel with some lighting package but will require local supplements.

  • Minimum of 3 LX pipes over the stage, in front of the projection surface with, at minimum:

    • A top/back light concept (intelligent wash)

    • A side lighting concept- 2 shins per side (intelligent fixtures preferred- RGB Pars or Lustrs)
