The Theatre Assistant is an integral part of making sure your event has the proper equipment required and technical support, as well as looking out for your safety. Theatre Assistants work with your Event Coordinator(s) to make sure all aspects of the event run smoothly.

Some events require more equipment than the Cardel Theatre supplies, and your Event Coordinator(s) will be required to acquire and pay for the rental of this equipment independently, with the approval of the Theatre Coordinator and ensuring compatibility with the Cardel Theatre system.
