Merry Christmas: Here are the Center Arts Riders from the Last Two Seasons
Posted By Grant Scott-Goforth @GScottGoforth on Fri, Dec 25, 2015 at 11:21 AM
In this week's cover story, we read through nearly 100 contracts between Center Arts, which brings big-name music, dance and theater acts every year, and the performers who grace HSU stages.
Those contracts contain the riders — documents that detail an artist's technical and "hospitality" needs, in other words the food, drinks and comforts they request while on tour. There are some gems in there, ranging from cringe-worthy to charming, and we urge you to go look at our favorites.
But if you share with Journal staff an undying curiosity, we've posted all 96 riders that Center Arts released per our public records request. Click on the names below to view them in PDF format. Have at it, and let us know what we missed in the comments section.
