How to get local theatre up to a high level standard.

Hi everyone. I recently became a production manager of a decent sized local theatre (2500 cap). The previous manager was retiring and got tired, leaving the building a disorganized mess for years. Gear is relatively old, random pieces of gear everyone bc they hoarded everything. It’s quite embarrassing.

My goal is to do everything I can to get this place back to a standard that national tours expect but that Broadway shows can respect. I want everything from terminology to workflows to be recognizable to visiting clients from larger cities such as LA and NYC.

For those of you working in high-level theatres, what are some standards in space management an organization and what are some common pitfalls I can avoid?

Basically, I want techs either on concert tours or broadway shows to walk in and feel right at home.

Thank you!
