What is the document sent to a venue that lists all technical requirements needed for a performance?

A rider is a critical document in the performing arts that outlines all the technical requirements for a production, such as lighting, sound, staging, and other necessary equipment. This document ensures that the venue can accommodate the needs of the performance and helps avoid any misunderstandings regarding what is required for a successful show. It acts as a guide for venue staff to prepare adequately, ensuring that all technical aspects align with the artistic vision of the production.

The other options refer to different aspects of theatre production. A show cloth pertains to stage aesthetics and might refer to certain visual elements used during the performance. A production schedule outlines the timeline for rehearsals and performances rather than technical requirements. The technical script is focused on the script's technical elements, such as cues for lighting and sound, but does not provide the comprehensive list of equipment and technical demands that a rider does.
