CREW CALLS:
Theatre Junction proudly operates under a collective agreement with IATSE Local 212 and all
work performed on stage or on company equipment will be done by on call, permitted, IATSE
technicians within their corresponding departments. Crew calls are determined at the sole
discretion of the venue’s Technical Director based on an assessment of the productions
technical documents and needs. No third party technical staff will be allowed to work within the
venue other than exclusively on the equipment that they provide. Road crews will be permitted
to operate their show specific equipment only under the supervision of the venue’s house
technicians.
Artist’s sound and lighting technicians may operate the venue’s control consoles under the
supervision of the venue’s house crew. The final say on all sound and lighting levels will be at the
discretion of the venue’s house crew, no exceptions. In specific circumstances road crews may
be permitted to perform additional tasks within the venue but only as pre approved by the
venues Steward and Technical Director. In extreme cases, failure to comply with these
regulations may result in the termination of the performance with no fault or liability to Theatre
Junction.
VENUE MEASUREMENTS:
The theatre is a ‘black-box’ space capable of multiple stage configurations. There is no raised
stage (the stage area is the venue floor), but if needed a large stage can be built out of
portable risers.

with no seating. The audience seating system consists of a combination of permanently
installed and mobile banks of retractable seating.

Please Note:
• Storage of the unused banks of seats is either along the sidewalls of the venue or
in the loading dock depending on the layout, as indicated on the technical
drawings.
• Setting and storing of the seating must be factored into the user’s set-up and
strike time.
• Audience egress and fire exits must not be obstructed at any time and a
minimum 4’ clear path must be maintained.
CROSSOVER:
There is a permanent crossover under the stage via stairs between the NE and SE
corners of the venue. The NW and SW corners of the venue may also be accessed
under the stage via the lobby vestibule. Otherwise, stage level crossovers and other
access requirements should be considered in the design of the scenery and masking
layout.
STAGE FLOOR:
The stage floor is composed of black battleship linoleum over two layers of 1” plywood
decking laid over 2” x 4” sleepers. No fixing to the floor will be allowed for any reason.
There are no traps in the floor. There is a shallow cable trough that follows the perimeter
of the room.
PORTABLE RISERS:
The venue has a stock of portable interlocking risers and step units. The surface of the
risers consists of one-inch plywood covered with battleship linoleum. It is not allowed to
screw into the risers. The maximum load is 100lb per square inch.

DANCE FLOOR:
Please consult the Technical Director regarding possible configurations and availability
of dance floor (Marley). The venue owns a ‘Harlequin Reversible’ brand dance floor in
black/grey. The venue does not have a portable ‘sprung’ floor system.
RIGGING:
The rigging of lighting, sound and scenery/soft goods within the venue is achieved by
trusses suspended from chain motors attached to the overhead fixed grid. Before any
movement of the rigging over the stage may be incorporated into the performance, a
formal documented risk assessment will have to be conducted and adequate safety
measures implemented. The Technical Director shall have final determination in such
matters. In no instance shall there be any moving rigging over the audience areas when
occupied. The venue’s Technical Director will have the final decision regarding all
rigging, no exceptions.

SPECIAL EFFECTS:
Atmospherics:
Please inform the Technical Director of any atmospherics (haze, fog, snow, dry ice, etc.)
that you will be using. A copy of the ‘Material Safety Data Sheet for the fluids’ is
mandatory. Use of atmospherics requires the disabling of the venue’s fire alarm system
by the head stage carpenter, and approval by the venues Technical Director.
Absolutely no atmospherics may be run under any circumstances until explicit
clearance has been given. Failure to comply with this regulation may result in a
damages charge.
Pyrotechnics:
Pyrotechnic special effects may be used with the approval of the Technical Director
under the supervision of a licenced pyro-technician. The pyro-technician must show
proof of proper licensing. Handling, storage and preparation of pyrotechnic material will
be in compliance with the federal, provincial and local codes, and within the
manufacturer’s guidelines. Where applicable, nearby flammables (costumes and
scenery) will be properly flame proofed.
A detailed application will be submitted to the Technical Director two months before
the event. Upon approval, this application must then be submitted to the Calgary Fire
Department. Documentation will include: event approval form; proof of $1 million
liability insurance; copy of the pyrotechnician’s license; pyro effects plan; (with full
description of all effects); sketch of the theatre (with position of effects, pyro storage,
audience, exits).
There will be at least one dry run (demonstration) of all effects prior to the first
performance.
Miscellaneous:
The use of any other effects (strobes, firearms, gunshots etc.) requires the approval of
the Technical Director.

SOUND SYSTEM INFORMATION:
Theatre Junction GRAND (TJG) is equipped with a highly versatile and adaptable sound
system designed to meet the needs of a wide array of configurations, clients, and artists.
The backbone of this system is its patch architecture, which is broken out at many
locations throughout the facility. This allows inputs and outputs to be routed fairly easily
to and from the tech booth, stage floor, third floor pin rail, grid, studio, and lobby. The
XLR patch architecture allows for 48 channels to the stage. Please note there is no
splitter system in house. TJG also features a distributed audio AC system with an
isolated ground. Audio AC are orange outlets throughout the facility in both twist lock 4
pin (60A) and standard North American U ground (15A) receptacles.
The Digico SD9 (40 channel) is the main control console for our system and offers a wide
array of EQ, Dynamics, and I/O routing options. Our second console (for use as a
monitor or alternative desk) is a Yamaha DM2000 (48 channel). Our Meyer speaker
system is comprised of 12 mid high cabinets (Meyer UPJ-1P), and 4 subwoofer cabinets
(USW-1P). We also have 6 self-powered monitor/full range speakers available for use as
monitors or main systems. Typically two are installed in our studio space as the main PA
but could be recovered if a total of 6 monitors are required and the studio is not in use.
The standard speaker configuration in the main theatre is made up of left (2 speakers),
right (2 speakers) and centre (3 speakers) clusters, which reside on line set #1 as well as
one mid high speaker per side flown on the pin rail as a delay fill for the back of the
house. In addition to the flown clusters there are 2 flown subwoofers. We have 2
additional mid high cabinets and 2 additional subwoofers that can be added on the
ground to provide extended front row coverage. Any request to relocate or modify this
speaker configuration will result in extra labor costs. The system is typically addressed by
a single stereo send distributed by our system processor however discrete addressing of
up to 8 separate zones/clusters can be achieved simply if this is required (please give
advanced notice).
It is a major concern of both our management and patrons that acceptable sound
levels be maintained. It is recommended that sound pressure levels should be no
greater than 95dB A-weighted on average.
Should you require additional information about our audio equipment or custom setups
please contact Technical Director Phil Cimolai (phil@theatrejunction.com).
