The Westbury Theatre functions as a multiform space in which staging and seating configurations can be altered to accommodate a variety of events including wedding receptions, trade shows, theatre productions and music concerts.
Our house lighting plot utilizes theatrical lighting equipment to create stage lighting for performances and decorative settings for receptions with little labour requirements. Changes to the lighting plot increases the labour demand and cost to the client. It is recommended for Theatre companies using show-specific lighting to meet with our Technical Director to determine labour requirements and cost.
Rates for single day rentals include production meetings with our Technical Director and Event Services Manager to assess:
- requirements for your event
- set up and restoration of staging and seating equipment by our technical staff
- use of our lighting and sound equipment
- one Technician and one Front of House Supervisor to assist you during the period of your rental
Certain events requiring performance lighting and sound may require an additional technician depending on the complexity of the event; additional personnel, if required, will be determined by TransAlta Arts Barns' staff and billed to you as an additional cost.
Rates for weekly rentals include the same services as the single day rentals EXCEPT that the technical and Front of House staff required while you are in the Theatre are NOT included. Calls for our staff will be determined at a production meeting prior to your event where a cost estimate will be provided to you. Personnel requirements will be determined by TransAlta Arts Barns' staff and billed to you following your event.
