Rental Steps & FAQ

- An estimate for production labour can be provided after this meeting with our Production Manager. A deposit for production labour fees may be required at this time, as determined by Intrepid.
For Intrepid Studio events:
- We require you to communicate production requirements and details of the event no later than 4 weeks in advance of the rental in order to determine feasibility and approved execution. Any changes made to the Venue, and any item brought into the venue (ie: props, set, tables, etc.) must first be approved by Intrepid.
- Technical specifications for our venues can be found here. For production inquiries contact Owen Schellenberger (owen@intrepidtheatre.com).
