If all else fails call you local fire department for an inspection and voice your concerns to them. They can shut down an unsafe theater in five minutes. But first go through school administration, and work with them to get the proper equipment installed correctly.

As was explained earlier in the thread, the fire marshal wasn't concerned with the 'rig.' Their main priority is making sure it won't start or spread a fire, and making sure everyone can get out if it does.

Good for you that you are on top of this. Get someone in Admin who is responcible for liability insurance involved. You have a reputable compay that has done work in Fort Collins on the Poudre High School and you could ask that they give a safety consult:

Yes but if they are doing dodgy rigging, chances are there will be a variety of other things the place could get shut down for...

Chris, one of the earlier posts was:

So I think the point Clifford was making in response to Adam's post was that apparently the Fire Marshal had already inspected the facility. By making it an issue to the Fire Marshal after they had already inspected it you might be perceived as questioning them and that probably wouldn't help.

[Chris15]

My thought had been that the fire inspection cleared this "rigging" but we don't know what, if anything, else was inspected. Or does an inspection *always* cover *everything* when your government departments come out? (Ours leave something to be desired nearly all the time...)

So the exit widths may be wrong, inadequate provision of emergency lighting, yada yada yada.
