THOUGHTS: When I was looking at everyone's bios, I saw that the theatre rental information was on the About page hidden down the bottom after all the bios. I realized that anyone looking to find rental information probably wouldn't think to scroll down past bios. I realize that there is a school of thought about not having too many website pages, but as rentals are a source of revenue, the information needs to be obvious and easy for potential renters to find when they are doing their research. So... I've made this mock-up rental page with some suggestions (keep scrolling below). I don't know what information there is to give to renters (other than the lighting system, of course), but I've written some suggestions (below). Ignore my logo, this is just a mock-up intended for the Venue site.
I'm not sure what renters are currently allowed to do, or not do, during unsupervised use of the space, but I think it's a good idea to limit them - for liability purposes if nothing else, but also because we can't keep coming back into the space and finding things messed with. (The church would probably have to be grandfathered in, because I don't think they would take kindly to having their access taken away(!).) I think some usage should be supervised for new renters. Also...providing theatre staff/technicians is another revenue source! We'd have to pay people, of course, but we'd charge an hourly fee to cover that and a bit extra as revenue. I realize non-profits aren't allowed to mark-up services, but it can be called 'overhead' or some other legal nomenclature.
