So I do have unlimited access to the entire venue and according to my contact, flash is only allowed in the offstage areas. But given the number of performers, local and national, I suspect that will be difficult to enforce in the performance hall. Most likely I will be arriving 2-3 hours prior to the start of the event, so watching the tech rehearsal will be a real possibility, but as far as attending rehearsals, I doubt it as this is a national tour. I might try to get a walk through of the venue with my client though

I know I tend to over-think new opportunities like this. I don't like being ill-prepared or bringing too much gear. I think at least for now I will stick with my concert kit, and bring a backup body.

Thanks for the help.
