Please download and print our stage plot with all requirements.
Stage/Lighting: AE sets up downstage center. They needs two armless chairs (no stools, please!) and 2 electrical outlets for power.

AE is very visual in their performance and they sit down to play, and thus should be ELEVATED ON A RISER OR STAGE. All outdoor performances must be covered and pre-approved. It is nearly impossible to perform outside in the winter, or if the temperature is below 60 degrees. Plants and rugs are appreciated to warm the stage area up.
