No two events are alike, and the final cost depends on a number of factors, including the technical requirements and schedule for your production. Our staff will work with you to determine the best estimate based on these needs. Most one-day events in the theater cost between $9,000 and $13,000, and most lobby events cost between $2,500 – $4,000.
There are basically three broad categories for Fees and Services:
- Room Usage – We offer weekday and weekend rates, and commercial rates and non-profit rates (with proof of 501c status).
- Production and Technical Fees – This includes the technical systems (for example, sound, light, projection), stage labor, usher staff, housekeeping, event insurance, security, etc. Some of these costs apply to every event. Our Event and Production staff will work with you to assess the needs and notify you of the costs.
- Ticketing – The Rialto Center holds rights for any ticketed event or any event in which admission is charged for attendance. The Ticketing Agreement is a separate agreement and charges apply.
