Gas South Theater^® Policies For Event Planners

Gas South Theater^® has production staffing requirements for all events held in the facility. If your event is publicly attended, front of house staff will be required in addition to the required production staff. For any private events, a minimum amount of front of house staff is required with the option to add additional staff at the clients’ request. Overtime rates may apply based on requested access times, on hours worked before 7:00 A.M., after midnight and any hours worked over ten (10) hours in one day by the same employee. Double-time rates apply on any hours worked over ten (10) hours in one day by the same employee on any Gas South District^® recognized holidays.

Production staff must have a meal break every five (5) hours. A meal break consists of one (1) hour off property with the chamber/stage totally empty or a half hour on property non-working break with client providing meals. If the production staff does not receive a meal break after working five (5) hours the staff will be paid at the overtime rate until a meal break is given or a meal is provided by the client.
