::Rent the Theater::
:: Black Bart Players ::
The Black Bart Players want to encourage the community to rent the
theater for their special events.  From meetings to fundraisers, we
would like the theater to be used as much as possible.  The following
is a "dual" rate schedule to reflect our interest in promoting events
that are community oriented.  These would be events to which the
community is invited, and/or is a benefit to the community at large.  
The BBP management reserves the right to make the distinction
between "Community Oriented" and "private or commercial" events.  
To save the community money, long term events are calculated
differently and are based upon usage of theater resources.  Please
inquire for details.

Use of the Playhouse must necessarily be scheduled around Black Bart Players
production schedules, including some restrictions during rehearsal and set
construction periods.  During these times, the stage itself may not be available.  
However, the "Apron" area (with curtain drawn) can usually be arranged.  In general,
daytime use is not restricted, but evening use is limited to other than rehearsal and
performance nights.  
Arrangements must be made for public liability insurance coverage by the renter before
any occupancy can occur.  Various plans are available ---See Treasurer Diane Brown
