-
We recommend booking Mr. Ray AT LEAST one month in advance of your event. The earlier you book, the more likely Mr. Ray will have your preferred dates and times available.
-
Mr. Ray’s shows are easily adapted to almost any environment. That being said, keep these things in mind:
A performance space of 6×6 is sufficient for small, private shows, plus additional space for the audience to sit.
For larger shows and assemblies, a larger (10×10) space is best.
A nearby electrical outlet is also needed for larger shows for the sound system.
-
Mr. Ray needs about 30 minutes to set up his private, home shows.
For school assemblies or other larger shows, we need at least an hour to set up and do sound checks.
If you have specific needs or requirements for set up that cannot accommodate these times, please reach out, and Mr. Ray will work with you to come up with a solution that meets you needs.
