BOOKING REQUEST FORM

Our Operations & Rentals Manager is part-time and due to the volume of rental requests, they need the details of your event in order to respond appropriately.

You can find the form here.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULES

Moving forward, our Production team will be developing the Production Schedule for your event in collaboration with you. We know our staff requirements and venues best. This is also an effort fto provide healthier expectations and work environments for everyone while they are in our spaces.

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

DEPOSITS

Since Production Schedules will be built together, labour will no longer 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 rates and labour fees, and will be incorporating an annual increase. The annual increase for the next year will be published annually in the fall.

You can find 2022’s here.

You can find 2023’s here.

INSURANCE NOW REQUIRED FOR INTREPID STUDIO

All rentals at the Intrepid Studio now require General Liability Insurance at a minimum of $2,000,000. Our own Insurance is voided, if a renter fails to do so. There’s no way around it.

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 coverage; failure to do so will result in the cancellation of your event.

CALENDAR YEAR BOOKING SCHEDULE

Bookings for the next calendar year now open in September. For example, our calendar will open for general 2023 multiple-consecutive day bookings on September 15, 2022 and will be processed on a first-come; first served basis.

Booking requests for 2023 can now be made through our rental request form.

CAPITAL PROJECT

Intrepid Theatre is currently coordinating capital upgrade projects in both of our venues to take place in 2023. Rental bookings may be affected and will have more information later this summer.
