Every tour is different… Jurassic Park Institute Tour – Tokyo ‘03
To Web or not to Web… • Remember dial-up? • Remember people without a computer? • Do you promise to keep it up to date?
Things we should add… • A graphic scale on every drawing • Direct contact numbers for the people who actually operate the hall. • “Ease of life” items: • Facility specs outside of the theatre. • Truck parking? • Local vendors? • Local “color”!
The only essential is… Information that is: • Complete • Accurate • Current • …and “as-built”
And remember “complete”? From the “site survey facility notes”: “Load in thru front doors. Standard double doors. 13 steps up to front of theatre. Ramped down to front of stage.” “Shop dock door 6’-6”W x 10’-6”H. Right angle turn and ramp down to stage. Door to stage 8’W x 8’H.”
The only essential is… Information that is: • Complete • Accurate • Current
Thank you, Cleveland! …Goodnight!
