Adams Memorial Opera House
Guide to Rental Information

Rental Checklist - a basic guide to the process of renting the Opera House.  It also list all the prerequisites and requirements you must meet in order to rent.  We recommend you start with this summary document.

Rental Pricing Schedule - what it will cost.

Bookings Calendar - a listing of dates that are already booked, or tentatively booked, for the coming 12 months.  This is rendered from our master calendar, however it is not updated in real-time.  Please contact us for specific availability information.  Color key to booking notations: blue = interest shown but still available for full-week bookings, green = requested but not confirmed, yellow = under contract with binder deposit, red = fully paid rental, purple = "dark" day, when the stage is not available but the house is available.  Please don't confuse the Bookings Calendar page with the Opera House Schedule of Events, which covers only a one to two month advance time window, but has more details on each event.

Renter Cleaning Checklist - a guide to your responsibilities for keeping the Opera House clean.

Technical Package - facility description, specifications and dimensions, plus what equipment comes with the facility, and rules of usage.

Certified Production Staff - description of our certified staff program, its requirements upon renters, staff job descriptions, and contact information.

Teen Rock Concert Policy - describes additional requirements for popular music concerts targeted at teenagers and young adults (ages 13 - 25).

Schedule of Events - dates and descriptions of events booked at the Opera House (exclusive of rehearsal and tech time).  Note that this is not a good indication of available dates for booking.  See the Bookings Calendar instead.

Rental Application Form - use this on-line request form to initiate a rental request.  You may also initiate a rental request by calling us and leaving a message in voice-mailbox number two.  Please note, that this form is not your Rental Contract.  Your contract will be mailed to you in hard copy via USPS mail, or e-mailed to you as a PDF format (Adobe Acrobat) attachment.

Rental Contract Form - a PDF (Adobe Acrobat) soft-copy of the Rental Payment Agreement, Rental Agreement and Technical Needs, and Use of Facilities Policy form blanks.  This is the paperwork that we fill out, based on your rental request (on-line or phone).  We place it here for your reference.  A hard-copy will be mailed to you, via USPS mail, or a PDF format soft-copy will be e-mailed to you, once your rental request has been confirmed.

If you are interested in renting, want to verify that certain dates are available, or want to ask technical questions, please contact us, as listed below.  Final confirmation of availability of dates and booking status will communicated to you from our office staff.
