I think we can probably help you out, but some more details are probably useful. It sounds like you are trying to revamp an existing space that is part of a school, yes? What kind of space is it? What is already in place? Is part of this project a renovation? Is there space for a scene shop? Do you have any existing gear? What is your budget? What do you want to be able to do, what kinds of shows are you producing?
I know those are a lot of questions, but it will help us point you to the most helpful sources.
Its is an old place that we used to use many years ago, that happens to be everyones favorite, A Cafe-torium But on the higher end of them.
Currently we have no sound system, which si why we move everythinf from our highschool to the younger building adn start from scratch
This is not apart of a state bond renovation nor district reno.
Our existing gear, all we have is an old, not even grounded system that is breaking our fire codes and bulilding codes, but we happen to be grandfathered in.
Our budget.. Ha well by no means are we trying to go all LED lighting, which is what we got a quote on becuase we were told it would be the best. But the disrict would not let a bill of $61,000 fly
and the shows we run are basc. all musicals, on the lower end with younger groups, but the disrict has planned if we get this up and running, the area can be rented out.

I kno that was alot of answers at one time, just trying to get anything that would help me out.. Thanks
