Default Greenroom Showers (Signs)

The greenroom at my theater has a shower on each, the mens and womens side of the room. The past (at least) 6 or 7 years the shower rooms were used for prop storage because we didn't have enough storage space. I recently cleaned each out and now that the shower rooms are cleared out, we are going to use them for what they were intended for, however, I want to put up signs on each of the doors stating the rules for use because being a high school, I know some of the students may take advantage of the empty room.

If anyone has any rules I could add, that would be great as I want to post it monday.
The first one I put down was "Only one person may occupy the showering room at a time."

Thanks!

I would check with the athletic department and see what rules they have, they might require sandles to prevent the spread of athletes foot and the like. If your worried about people hooking up in there you would need a solution that you could lock from the outside with out others being able to lock a student in there while still letting the student lock themselves in.

Keep them locked unless a show needs it, period. I have showers in my dressing rooms and they never get used, one has been converted into a paint sink area another one is just storage.

Unless someone really needs the shower for a show (large hair change or something), leave it locked.

Without strictly monitoring the use of these showers, your theatre could get in serious trouble with your school district if something happened. I agree with Footer, it should be kept locked unless absolutely necessary.

Some may call me jaded, but I don't think a sign is going thwart the raging hormones of teenagers.

That was my thought.

At the school I work at... well... stairwells have been used. I don't think a sign is going to stop anything.

Signs are useless... padlocks on the other hand work wonders.

At my school it has been used if it is reasonably private and can be entered without the use of powertools...
