Booking Conditions

  • Chain Reaction Theatre Company will send out a letter of confirmation to all schools/organisations when the interested party and CRTC have negotiated and agreed on times/dates etc. This acts as a contractual agreement between the school/organisation and CRTC.
  • Chain Reaction requires notice of any cancellation of a booking at least three weeks prior to the expected performance, otherwise the commissioning group (school/organisation) will be liable for the total quoted amount.
  • Please ensure that all performance areas are cleared for our arrival - we have limited time to set up our equipment, and would appreciate the clearance of all tables and chairs from this area.
  • Chain Reaction has a tour vehicle with some heavy props. Please inform us if we can not park near to where we will be performing.
  • Please inform the office if the school is on more than one site.
  • If a subsidised performance is cancelled less than three weeks prior to the confirmed date, the full amount will be due.
  • Please ensure there is someone to meet the cast members upon arrival to show us to the performance destination and to offer refreshments.
  • Please can you ensure that teachers/children do not enter during the performance as this is distracting for the pupils and actors.
  • Chain Reaction requires all class teachers to be present during the performance this is so the work can be followed up by the teacher back in the classroom
