(There is NO FOOD OR DRINK allowed inside the Theatre, the ONLY exception is clear water inside a plastic bottle with a re-sealable lid. Remember, as per your contract, The Luke gets 10% of all concessions& merch sales. There is no alcohol allowed on the premises-we are located on SB School District property.)

Will your group sell merchandise, how many 6ft tables will they need?

How many tables for box office will you need in the school lobby?

Two tables for each of these needs are sufficient for almost all events at The Luke. A limited amount of chairs are available, please ask the House Manager. All signs, decorations or banners must be approved by the House Manager & be hung exclusively with “sticky tac” or painters tape. (No duct tape, masking tape or scotch tape, it ruins our walls!) When renting The Luke you are renting the Theatre only, not SBJHS. Your group shouldn't use SBJHS property found in the hallways such as chairs, tables, chalk boards, etc. The Luke Theatre owns their own property to fulfill your group’s needs, please ask the House Manager.

 

Ticket Sales:

Is your event general admission or assigned seating?

If assigned seating your group must obtain a seating chart from the General Manager of the Theatre prior to the event & properly identify all handicapped, accessibility, or special needs patrons in advance of the show.

When will your box office staff begin to sell tickets night of the show?(1 hour proir to show time is standard. They should plan on 10-15 min set up time.)

Does your box office have enough change to handle all sales?
(The Luke Theatre does not carry cash.)

Will your group accept checks or credit cards?

Who do they make the check out to?

Will any of your performers, backstage crew, or volunteers enter the audience as a patron?

How will they be identified & where will they sit?

A wristband or pre-approved hand stamp is standard, please let House Manager know in advance.

As per your contract The Luke reserves the right to 24 complimentary tickets. The House Manager will work with your box office staff to ascertain how many The Luke will use. Thanks.
