State One-Act Venue: Milwaukee

Load-in of scenery/set pieces from trucks can be done in one of the two docks shown in the map to the right. Schools performing in the Mainstage or in T6 Studio should enter the driveway for the Union parking ramp (lot #22) off Kenwood Blvd., where the dock will be on the right. Police will be on hand to assist with traffic flow; trucks may not remain at the dock. Schools performing in the Recital Hall should enter the Mitchell lot (#16) off Downer Ave.

Schools will be brought to just outside sightlines of adjudicators to bring scenery onto the respective stagesFor Mainstage, that will be in the wings; for T6 Studio, that will be behind two standard-size upstage doors; for Recital Hall, that will be behind upstage doors (upstage left = double door; upstage right = standard entryway). Remember: timing for each show is from when the first foot, prop, or scenery comes onto the stage, and until the last one leaves.

During your homeroom/prep time, a university liaison will meet with you to discuss specific needs. Be prepared at this time to start the cueing process to utilize staff and equipment to the fullest, but do not go to the control booth prior to your set up time since another school will be using the booth. Your liaison will ensure you get to stage and will be on-hand to answer all questions pertaining to technical needs during your set-up time.
