3 in our highschool, An auditorium with, I'm assuming, around 500 seats, A classroom with electrics and power rails run and a 2" raised stage with proper curtains, seats about 50 people. And an outdoor Ampitheater which is in a pretty bad spot and is almost never used, the only access to it is either through the Back door of the Auditorium dressing room , or through the Pottery/art classrooms, needless to say, it's used more as a large wall painting canvas than an actual theater.

My school district had a 1000 seat proscenium theatre, a little black-box "multipurpose room" in the highschool and a 650 seat thrust at the middle school. Elementary schools of course had their gyms with assorted stages and electrics in disrepair but I never had to deal with those much.

Where I work now all the world is a stage, since we work in hundreds of venues in the area.

One 950 seat auditorium that also serves as a chapel (until Dec 2009,) band rehearsal room, and organ practice/lesson room.

We also use our gym for concert settings, which can seat 2,200-2,300.

Two theatres
main stage 50' proscenium, 470/718 seats
drama "pod" 20' proscenium, 124 seats
choir "pod" lecture hall 124 seats

The two pods (turntables) rotate into the main house to make 718 fixed seats
we also have two large "handicap" seating areas that have flexible seating to bring us up to 750, all told.

5 spread over campus.

Main stage proscenium with a black box/studio in the same building.

Secondary auditorium across campus. Recently built but no fly space, small back stage and limited amenities.

Large assembly hall/auditorium in central campus. Used for movies and other concerts, but never live theatre, as the space is a barn. Long, poorly lit, no back stage, no flys, little amenities.

Small, intimate proscenium in one of the residence halls. Used for student shows, projects and class presentations.

We have been lied to 3 times about getting a black box
