Who is PRESETT for?
YOU! PRESETT stands for: Practices for Representatives, Employees and Supporters of Educational Technical Theatre. PRESETT, a division of RCD (Rand Consulting and Design), provides services to help you with the safe, functional and vocational use of your school theatre. PRESETT does this by encouraging the exchange of ideas, and offering practices and tools in order to sustain and advance the awareness and importance of applicable facility design, highly qualified management staffing, and effectual vocational academic outcomes, as an integral part of safe and functional operations. The online HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE MANAGEMENT course, is the backbone of PRESETT's services, where Drama teachers and theatre staff from all over the country come together to learn about high school theatre management and to share ideas, trials and tribulations with each other for the betterment of their own high school theatres. What PRESETT is Not PRESETT is not a governing organization. We don’t make laws or codes. We don’t “report” any school theatre to anyone. Nor is Rand Consulting and Design/PRESETT/the Light Lady, the owner, or any representatives, theatre safety specialists (always consult a theatre safety specialist!). However it is the mission of this service to provide assistance to schools nationwide in their endeavors to be accountable for safe and functional operations of their school theatres.

Significance of the name PRESETT
In the theatre to “preset” something – be it props, set pieces, rigging, costumes, light cues or sound cues – is to prepare ahead of time so that your next action will be correct and on time. A theatre can’t function without this forethought, and it makes things run seamlessly and safely (most of the time!). PRESETT exists for the same purpose; to advocate for high school theatres to be run seamlessly and safely. By “presetting” your high school theatre you can provide a valid vocational education, and uphold the highest operational and safety standards.
RCD's Diversity and Inclusion Statement
RCD/PRESETT/The Light Lady/The S.T.A.G.E. Guild's services and tools are available to all individuals.
