BOOKING REQUEST FORM

In order to best respond to your rental needs, we need the details of your event – please fill out a booking request form.

You can find the form here.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULES

Moving forward, our Production team will develop the Production Schedule for your event in collaboration with you. We know our staff requirements and venues best, and this process helps provide healthier expectations and work environments for everyone while they are in our spaces.  We will always work to make it as cost-effective for you as possible!

Please note: showtimes MUST be approved by Intrepid before your tickets go on-sale.

DEPOSITS

As Production Schedules are built together, labour won’t be included as part of your deposit fee. An estimate for production labour can be provided after the Production Schedule has been developed.

RATES & FEES

We have updated our rental rates, labour costs, and other expenses, incorporating an annual increase. The annual increase for the following year will be published each fall.

You can find the current 2024 rates here.

INSURANCE NOW REQUIRED FOR INTREPID STUDIO

All rentals at the Intrepid Studio need to have General Liability Insurance at a minimum of $2,000,000 coverage, as required by Intrepid’s general insurance policy.

LIQUOR LIABILITY INSURANCE

If you intend to sell alcohol during your event, you are required to have Liquor Liability insurance along with your SEP. Your provider can include it in your General Liability coverage; failure to do so or to provide proof of coverage in advance will result in the cancellation of your event.

Bookings for the next calendar year open in September. For example, our calendar will open for general 2025 multiple-consecutive day bookings on September 15, 2024 and will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Booking requests for 2024 can now be made through our rental request form.

CAPITAL PROJECT

Both the Metro and the Intrepid Studio underwent capital improvement projects in 2023. The upgrades are now complete and offer an improved work environment for renters, artists, staff, and patrons alike.

The Metro Studio Theatre is the only live performance space of its kind in downtown Victoria, BC. This 162 seat black box-style theatre is fully equipped for theatre, dance, spoken word, musical theatre, film screenings, rehearsals, and film shoots. The Metro is home to Intrepid Theatre’s Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival, the OUTstages and Incoming festivals, as well as an annual presenting series of touring work.

The Metro Studio is wheelchair accessible and has two all-gender washrooms and a wheelchair accessible washroom on the ground floor. The technical staff are represented by IATSE Local 168.

The Intrepid Studio is the hub of new and independent theatre in downtown Victoria. With a seating capacity of 45, the Studio is ideal for anything from small productions, workshops, auditions, and play readings to lectures, classes, photo shoots, and rehearsals. In addition to rentals, the Intrepid Studio is also home to Intrepid Theatre’s own festivals and programs, such as OUTstages, Incoming, the You Show, and the New Play Reading Series. The Studio is equipped with a basic lighting plot, sound system, and theatre drapes; you supply your own technician. This DIY space is very popular.

The Intrepid Studio is wheelchair accessible, and has two all-gender washrooms. Intrepid Theatre’s administration offices are also located upstairs at the Intrepid Theatre Studio.
