There are five rehearsal rooms on the production level. There is one each for opera, theater, drama, dance, and orchestra. Each of these rooms is sound isolated and surrounded by a layer of rubber and cork. The room is designed to have approximately the same area as that of the stage that the performance will be held on. Each of the rooms also has specific features that will help the performers adjust to the stage. For example, the Orchestra Rehearsal room has a row of seats along the wall that would model the front row of seats in the Great Hall and the Opera Rehearsal room has paint on the floor to delineate different areas of the stage. The Drama rehearsal room would correspond to the Playhouse, the Dance Rehearsal room to the Festival Theater, and the Choral Rehearsal room once again to the Great Hall with the alteration that choral risers would be set up. The Dance Rehearsal room also has its own set of lighting instruments and can be used for some performances- often various recitals.
Each theater also has its own dressing rooms. These rooms are fully equipped with makeup tables, furniture, washrooms, and showers. Other amenities can be added to these rooms if needed by the performers.
The Playhouse, Festival, and
Great Hall also have their own Green Rooms. These are rooms where actors would
either wait before they go on stage or relax in after their performances.
Some are equipped with washers, dryers, furniture, and food preparation areas.
Catered food will often be served to the performers in these areas before,
during, or after their shows as well.
