The room

Stage
12 ft across, 6 ft deep, 1 ft off the floor, with a rug on it.
Headroom
7 ft from the stage to the ceiling, 8 ft from the floor. A 6 ft performer has about a foot over their head.
Screen
On the wall behind the stage, running almost to the ceiling. Optional. The projector hangs between the posts.
Audience
Three rows of about 14 chairs, the front row 4 ft from the stage, then stools and tables at the back. 50 to 55 seats in all.
Lighting
Super basic. One spotlight on a dimmer, plus the wash lights you see in the photos, which can go blue or white. Nothing moves or follows you.
Mics
A handheld on a mic stand, and an over-ear headset or lav.
Posts
Two posts, 6 ft 8 in out from the stage. Rows 2 and 3 sit right behind them.
