It's All in the Details
A successful event is all in the details. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you plan yours.
Let’s Talk Tech
Lights, Sound, Action
Basic lighting and sound equipment are included with your rental; technical and production staffing is not. If your event requires additional support, let us know early so we can determine what you'll need.
Plan ahead. Technical personnel should be requested at least one month in advance.
Bringing Something Extra?
Bringing in additional or rented equipment? Let us know in advance so we can make sure it's compatible with Fine Arts Center systems.
The Little Extras
Backstage & Getting Ready
Dressing space varies by venue. The Theatre includes a dedicated green room, while the Auditorium and Recital Hall may use available classrooms or other designated spaces.
Setting Up Shop
Planning to sell merchandise? Space may be available in the Fine Arts Center foyer. Renters provide staffing and cash change. Let us know in advance if you'll need tables or space.
Safe & Sound
CSI Security regularly patrols campus, but event-specific security may be required based on the size and nature of your event.
Let’s Talk Food
What’s on the Menu?
Planning food or refreshments for your event? Sodexo is CSI's approved food service provider and must be used for catered events. Let us know what you have in mind so we can help you coordinate the details.

Beer & Wine? Here’s the Scoop
Beer and wine may be permitted at certain private events with prior College approval. Requests must follow CSI's Policy for Consumption of Alcohol at Special Events and be submitted at least one month in advance.
Sodexo is the approved provider for beer and wine service. Additional requirements apply.
Young Guests, Extra Steps
Planning an event involving minors? CSI's Minors on Campus requirements apply to third-party organizations hosting minors on CSI property. Background checks may be required for individuals working with minors, so be sure to review the procedures early in your planning process.
