This one's for my facilities folk:
So your theatre has had butts in the seats for twenty years and the seats are starting to show it. Rips and tears, people. I'm talking rips and tears. Now, it's not quite time to start thinking about re-upholstering the whole damn auditorium just yet. And god knows the powers at be won't even CONSIDER the expense of that....having still not fixed the leaking stagehouse roof. And we certainly can't have each chair being a different color - if you were to recover each seat as they rip open.
So what do you do in the meantime?!? Looking for ideas/ advice on how you've dealt with this issue, if that's ever been your headache. Patches? Slipcover? Replace them with metal folding chairs? Make patrons bring their own dam chair? How have YOU dealt with that half dozen seats that have seen better days.
There is only a small number of companies that will come and recover an an entire auditorium -- and it costs a crap ton of money.....
