COMP TICKETS
Producers are allotted five (5) complimentary tickets. These comps do not count as paid tickets when meeting a guarantee.
Members of the press, photographers & videographers are comped & don't count against your comp list, however we still need their names in advance.
Names for the comp list should be submitted on the day of the event, at least 2 hours prior to the start time.
FOOD & DRINK -
* We offer one complimentary drink per show for the host to use at their discretion. No outside food or beverage is allowed at Q.E.D. Please remind your performers and audience of this. Q.E.D. can remain open and affordable only by the purchases made. Q.E.D. offers beer, wine, ciders & low proof rum, vodka and tequila. For n/a drinks we have coffee, tea, fancy sodas & more. We also offer a variety of fresh pastries and snacks and hot foods from Zorba's. If you have a food and/or drink element as part of your show, you must get pre-approval.
TECH NEEDS
A complete list of our tech equipment & capabilities: https://qedastoria.com/pages/techspecs
If you require anything *beyond* our four onstage microphones, simple house music, playing a music cue from a phone or mirroring to AppleTV let us know. We might need to you review tech in person. It's super simple, though.
We do not have a dedicated tech for shows, only a door person who can direct you to the tech booth. Please let your performers know this before they arrive for your show. You or someone on the show will need to handle your sound cues, etc.
* To review tech in person, you must schedule an appointment. Email QEDAstoria@gmail.com to set up a time. Drop-ins will not be accommodated.
REHEARSAL SPACE
* There is a full basement with a couch, dining tables, keyboard, amp and private dressing area for $10 an hour. Reserve it here: https://qedastoria.com/pages/rehearsal-space
