Dressing Room Allocation Sheet

A free printable dressing room allocation sheet — which act or company has which room, from when until when, who holds the key, and a handback check after the show.

First page of the Dressing Room Allocation Sheet — One page at stage door that answers the question every arriving act asks, and shows each room was cleared and locked afterwards.

What this sheet is for

One page at stage door that answers the question every arriving act asks, and shows each room was cleared and locked afterwards.

Who it is for

Stage managers, company managers and venue staff at theatres, festivals, concert halls and multi-act nights.

How to use it

  1. List the rooms from the venue plan with their facilities.
  2. Allocate each act, company or crew group with head-count and times.
  3. Note who holds the key or code for each room.
  4. After the show, tick each room cleared and the key back, and initial it with the time.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Which act or company member has which room, when they need it, and what is in it — posted at stage door so nobody has to ask twice and nobody finds their room already taken.

Rooms once, people per show. Fill in the rooms from the venue plan, then allocate. Note who holds each key or code and who checks the room after the show: a dressing room left unlocked with bags in it is the commonest post-show complaint.

Write-on lines: Venue · Production / event · Date(s) · Stage manager

Allocation and handback — one row per room — allocate before, check and lock after

Table, 13 rows: Room · Allocated to · Heads · Times · Key / code · Facilities · Cleared · Key back · Checked by

Questions

Why the cleared and key back columns?

Because the argument about the broken mirror or the missing coat happens the next day, and a tick saying who checked the room and when settles it in a sentence.

Put the truck, the lift, the crew call and the curfew on one page so the get-out is planned before the show rather than improvised after it.
