OCTOBER

​THE BUSINESS OF HIGH SCHOOL SHOW BUSINESS
Is your school theatre more like a roadhouse?! Does keeping track of all the users and events take up all your time?  Or maybe you don’t have the time, so things are falling apart? Master the practices to easily create the administrative tools necessary to track event management, supplies and maintenance, and organize of your theatre management duties.
NOVEMBER

​FINANCIALS & FUNDING
Never have enough funding?  No budget to buy enough supplies?  No budget to staff the theatre with anyone but you?  Follow in the footsteps of others who have taken ownership of their budgets.  Maximize your funding by differentiating between the production budget, the theatre operations budget, and the facilities budget.
DECEMBER

​HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Take the month off!
It's a short month at school, and we're all busy anyway.  Enjoy the break!
JANUARY

EVENT SUPPORT
Do you have a lot of events using your theatre; from concerts to meetings to churches to dance recitals to _________ (add your list here!)?  Who site-supervises your events; you, the theatre staff, admin, the custodians?  What is the state of the theatre (and any classrooms used) after the event leaves?   Discover powerful tools to lower your stress level; how to instigate and implement use guidelines, facility preservation, safety, procedures – that event organizers will heed!
FEBRUARY

​RISK MANAGEMENT
If you’ve ever worked in a theatre, then you have seen what it takes to open the curtain every night and provide a seemingly seamless performance for an audience.  Behind all the glamor, a theatre is like a construction site – in the dark.  This month we will delve into the Laws and Codes that pertain to school theatres, find out what are the legal requirements for students in CTE activities, and gain a basic understanding of the legalities of safety and liability in the school theatre when discussing risk management with school and district administration.
​
MARCH

​SAFETY – AND NO LLAMAS!
Do you cringe when someone walks within 3’ of your cyc?  Do you pray no students break an ankle jumping off the edge of the stage (it happens)!?  When was your theatre last inspected?  How about your drapes flame tested? Are your students allowed on the scissor lift?  Why not?!  Do you have a written safety manual?   After completing this month you’ll  have powerful tools needed to distinguish what to say to school and district administration when advocating for the importance of safety and liability in the school theatre. 
​And, I’ll tell you my llama story…
APRIL

​EDUCATING STUDENTS – IT’S WHY WE’RE HERE!
Why are we even here?  What’s it all for? Have you considered that tech theatre is STEM? Did you know that technical theatre is a CTE and Vocational subject, and that some of your students will actually go into the entertainment industry?  And that the skills and knowledge learned in tech theatre have career applications and transferrable skills for all students.  This month we will identify ways in which to educate your school and/or district administration – who often see the theatre only as the ‘performing' arts - of the role STEM and CTE plays in technical theatre education.
MAY

BRANDING AND OUTREACH
What reputation does your theatre have?   Does you community want to come and see events in your facility?  Does your community want to rent out your facility?  Do you provide excellent service and hospitality to make them want to come back?    Even school theatres need branding. Develop a variety of options to brand and market your school theatre to the community. ​
ANY MONTH - WHEN YOU'RE ALL DONE

​
