Storefront Theatres

The Kindle edition Of Technical Theatre for Nontechnical people is $3.49 can't beat it.

Glad to see this thread! I'm currently on a similar project. Most every theatre in my career has been a storefront. The one we are moving out of was absolutely horrendous. ONE toilet in the very back, through the dressing rooms. Tiny stage, no wings, no storage, no AC, three battens spanning the width of the building attached with flanges at the walls and a chain to the ceiling about midway. 62 seats. It was a nightmare. The space we are moving into is much larger. about 6x larger. I have 4 bathrooms, three seats each. a full scene shop, plenty of storage, office space, and 150 seats. The power issues seemed to come out perfect for us. Prior to us occupying the building, it was a office printing company. There is more power in the building than I know what to do with. Including a Three Phase Disconnect and High Leg routed directly to where my racks are going to be. A plus side with the city was that we have a non-profit that will be using the space. Saving Live Arkansas Music. The city officials have actually come out of their way to ask what they can do to help us out. Good luck on getting your space up and running. PM me if I can help since it seems I'm a few weeks ahead of you on the exact same project. Might even have some equipment for you!
