Show Requirements |
Sound is the most important requirement of all. The entire
show is dependent upon the audience hearing Banachek. For an audience of
over 15 people a good sound system is a must. Since Banachek moves about
his audience, he will require a wireless lavaliere microphone with a new
battery inserted. If no lavaliere (lapel) microphone is available, a WIRED
HANDHELD will suffice. An optional second microphone in a stand should be on
stage for assistants and a back up microphone should any technical
problems occur.
It is best to call Banachek's office as each show is
different depending on the layout of the room and the size of the audience
and type of show. Read below then click
types of show
to find out more. For now, here is
a basic outline.
A raised platform is also
highly suggested with stairs in the front of the stage and on each side,
these stairs should be well lit for safety.
A small cocktail type
table to sit a briefcase upon and a high stool should be placed upon the
stage. A glass of water should be upon the table also a large
White Pages phone Book.
Extra Lighting is not a necessity as Banachek likes to work the entire audience. Adequate lighting should apply
to the entire room and the stage should be lit as well as, if not more
than, the rest of the room. Check the room you are having Mr. Banachek
perform in, make sure the stage is not being placed in an unlit area. THIS
CAN HAPPEN IN HOTELS WHERE THE LIGHTS ARE PLACED OVER THE TABLES AND NOT
OVER THE PERFORMING AREA.
People should not be seated behind the
stage area as they will not be able to see the show. This includes the
areas at the rear sides of the stage. Tables should be as
close to the stage as possible.
There should be at least one pencil
or pen for each 5 people and enough pieces of white notepad paper (3x4 or
3x5) for each person. Also enough envelopes for each table or one letter
envelope (3 5/8 x 6 1/2) per 10 people.
