Our theater is used for assemblies, meetings, talent shows, plays/musicals, and even movies every once in a while. (We are basically the AV department). The projection distance is too long and the brightness too dim for an average multimedia projector.

Plus, our school district has a contract with Epson right now and will only allow us to purchase certain Epson projectors. The district has contracts with many companies and when we tried to buy a camcorder last year, they would only let us buy a really crappy one so we didn't.
Since we are rented fairly often, we need the projector in case either the renter decides to use it, or the administration spontaneously shows up with an assembly.

The dance idea seems like it could make some money.
