The summer stock I worked at for years is located on the shores of Green Bay in Door County, WI. The new theater was built in 2005-2006 with a full basement. They had to blast limestone to dig for it so they could have an orch. pit. The theater is also at the base of the Niagara escarpment that runs through the county, so in the spring all the snow melt runs straight down the hill and into the basement. The basement floods every spring, so everything stored down there is up on cinder blocks, or legged up higher on platform style shelves. The worst it ever got one spring (you can see the water line clearly on the stairs down into the basement) was about 3' deep. The 2 sump pumps are no match for Mother Nature flowing into the bay. We also had a really wet summer once while I was there where we had a foot of standing water in the basement. Super exciting when we had to try to dry it out so we could put on the musical the next month!
This doesn't even include the old scene shop building that floods every time they get rain that lasts for more than 30 minutes. Lol.
