• Coordinate site visits and rehearsals; venue provides stage, loading dock, and basic power.
• Submit required attachments: company profile, equipment list, references, assurance & disclosure forms, and licensing information.
• Evaluation based on experience, equipment age/type, familiarity with Barton Coliseum, cost, and references.
