Bus Parking
The wolf travels in a large motor-coach style bus. It is the size of a Greyhound and needs to be parked as close to the program room as possible. The bus itself is big (11' tall and 42' long). It is the host's responsibility to obtain any required parking permits and/or ask permission to park in unusual places.

Room Selection
The most desirable is an auditorium or theater that offers all audience members a clear view of the stage. A gymnasium works fine, and if necessary, we will use the largest room available. The public entrance needs to be separate from the wolf entrance when possible (see diagram below). Outdoor events are discouraged, distractions to both the audience and the wolf disrupt the program and the wolf is less interested in the audience and more interested in exploring the surroundings.

Microphone
W e request a microphone be set up for our use. A wireless handheld unit is most desired; a wireless lapel will work fine. If a wireless is not an option we need the longest cord available on the microphone. No podium or microphone stand is required.

Seating arrangement
The closer each audience member can be to the wolf the more impact the program will have. In a large Gym or room we can provide the best opportunity for individuals to see the wolf by seating people in a large circle, backs against the wall, as tight shoulder-to-shoulder as possible. This will create a single line of people so everyone gets a front row seat. If the audience is too big a second, third, or even fourth row will still provide an intimate experience and offer the wolf ample room to move about in. (See diagram below)

Public Programs and Events
Adult or Children event? Hosts my find it desirable to limit the evening audience age level to six years old and up, or offer a separate children's event prior to the feature event. We find too often that young children and infants are unable to stay seated for the duration of an evening event. One tired (and often noisy youngster) may cause enough disruption to shorten the program and limit or prevent wolf interaction with the audience.

Slide Show (Public Programs Only)
Mission:Wolf will provide the projectors. The host needs to provide a table or media cart (with wheels) to set to projectors on. The host must also provide an electric outlet and extension cord and as large of a screen as possible. Check to be certain that windows can be darkened and locate light switches prior to the event.

Display Tables (Public Programs Only)
We will need three folding tables set up at the program entrance to display handouts, pictures, posters and sales items. Volunteers to help watch the table are appreciated. Feb. 2000
