We require a sound person for our events to run music with simple cues; we can bring our own for an additional fee. Author visit assemblies require a projector. We will arrive an hour ahead of show time to set up and work with the sound technician to ensure a smooth event.
For shows we love to work with a light crew to make our event even brighter and better, but it is not essential.
