The crew costs are not included in the general contract and must be paid separate from the rental price.

If a production supplies its own crew, the Theatre Manager has the right to assess the qualifications of each individual used in the production. This is to guarantee the safety of the theatre and its occupants.

Payment of the crew can be made in advance or upon completion of the production or event. Mamiya Theatre is a non-union venue.
