The theatre has a QLab subscription for QLab3. You are welcome to use your own subscription login to access a later version of QLab if you need it. Please note that QLab3 is not compatible with later versions of QLab meaning your show will need to be built in QLab3.
If you wish to bring a laptop or phone to use as a sound source you can plug into the mixer as a stereo feed. In-house microphones and keyboard also go through the mixer.
To use the complete Sound System, both PAs and the Control One Speakers, you will need to program your show onto the in-house mac.
Please note the theatre only has one in-house wired microphone. If you need more than this or radio mics, you will need to source these yourself.
Video
The in-house QLab 3 is capable of running video content through HDMI or VGA connection to the Mac Mini. There are no projectors or screens at the King’s Head Theatre. Please contact the Theatre Manager in advance of any production if projection is involved.
Stage Configuration
The theatre is configured thrust as default.

Set and Storage
Storage in the theatre is incredibly limited for set items. Large items such as sofas, beds and flight cases cannot be stored in the theatre. Please also note that the theatre space is only accessible through the pub itself and therefore, if you have a lot of bulky items to unload, these will likely need to be brought in or removed in the morning before the pub opens. There is storage space for smaller props and costumes in the dressing rooms.
