Q: What if the weather is unpleasant on the night of the show?
postpone the event if winds are in excess of 10-15 miles per hour or if rain or thunderstorm activity is
forecasted for the evening. Under these circumstances, we will still reschedule the event within the
next month or 30 days. There is no cost for event reschedules if cancelled
before 4 pm. We can also offer an "indoor" option for our 18 ft and 24 ft screen
rental packages, depending on availability.
Q: Is there an option to guarantee my movie night on the date scheduled
regardless of weather? Does the event have to take place in the evening when
it is dark?
regardless of the weather conditions outside. We can also provide added flexibility on start time,
whether morning, afternoon or evening. We can schedule your event within a spacious and well
equipped regional sports arena facility. Watch a movie, play video games and indoor soccer all on
the same field. Contact us regarding rates and availability.
Q: Are we allowed to set-up the theatre and projection equipment by my swimming pool or bonfire?
Q: Are we able to rent multiple screens at a time, maybe set-up one for video games and the other
for video or movie watching?
A: Yes! We offer a 20% discount on the second system if two-2 or more screens are rented
concurrently at the same location. Ask a STR representative for more details on these special
discounts.
Q: Are we able to rent the screens for the weekend or several days in a row?
A: Yes! It is still necessary however to dismantle and store all electrical equipment at the close of
the evening’s events. For most of these applications, a large “tarp” will be applied over the viewing
screen for overnight protection. We offer a 15% discounted rate for each subsequent day on a
multiple day rental.
Q: Are we able to schedule our event indoors or during the daytime?
A: Yes! If there is adequate space available for set-up and easy access to the location. Indoor
events on the inflatable screen or canvassing wall are also a great form of entertainment. An indoor
venue can also be selected if bad weather forces the party indoors.
Q: I would like to play my Video games on the big screen and sound system. Am I allowed to do
this?
Q: Is there a preference towards “front” or “rear” projection set-up?
A: Although “front projection” (FP) offers some minor advantages, our preference is always towards
“rear projection” (RP) set-up. Under these conditions, the projector and all other supporting
components are placed behind the screen and out of sight of the viewing spectators. The viewers
watch a transposed image coming though the screen from the other side. RP insures minimal
chance for people or objects to block the light projection or risk stepping on cables and power cords
that run to and from various components. RP also allows for maximum viewing space in front of the
screen for the attendees. Assuming the set-up area allows for RP, we will always pursue that option
first.
Q: Is Stardust Theatre Rentals insured for outdoor events?
A: Yes, we retain comprehensive insurance coverages for all show events.

Q: May I legally show movies in my backyard or outside?
- A: DVDs acquired from local rental stores are copyrighted and licensed for
private, home viewing only. For large groups including public showings,
fund raisers or commercial events that involve paid admission, special
licensing is required. This licensing is easily acquired through companies
like Swank Productions (www.swank.com). This is a simple procedure
and STR can help guide you through the process. In most circumstances,
licensing represents a great opportunity to work with local business to help
sponsor your movie night. Contact us for details.
